Synopsis
Are We Good?
This raw, intimate portrait of comedian and podcast pioneer Marc Maron follows the sudden loss of his partner and filmmaker Lynn Shelton. Maron struggles with grief, disillusionment, and a shifting comedy landscape, processing it all through his life, both on-stage and off.
Being John Smith
Being John Smith is a deceptively wry and deeply felt work by the English avant-garde legend, in which Smith reflects on his life and career by way of his generic name, grappling with his own mortality and legacy, through a minimal, unassuming deployment of text, image, and voice.
