Facts for Fiction

About This Movie

So, 'Facts for Fiction' is this intriguing slice of life captured in New York, where Michael Pilz follows a taxi driver named Jeff Perkins. The atmosphere feels raw and immediate, thanks to that handy high-8 camera Pilz wields like a pen. You get this blend of reality and storytelling as they navigate the city streets, with Perkins sharing stories that are both mundane and profound. The pacing is laid-back, almost meditative, letting you soak in the nighttime vibe of the city. It’s not flashy; it’s more like a thoughtful conversation unfolding against the backdrop of urban life. The performances feel genuine, unscripted almost, which is probably what makes it distinctive in the documentary genre.
