Synopsis

Clown Panic

Revisits the bizarre nationwide hysteria of 2016, which began with reports of creepy clowns hiding near woods in South Carolina and quickly spiraled into widespread panic, school lockdowns, and police interventions across the United States. This in-depth documentary features interviews with eyewitnesses, law enforcement officials, cultural commentators, and professional clowns whose livelihoods were impacted by the craze.

On the Impossibility of an Homage

Given a portrait, who is responsible for the image we see, the painter or the subject? Ion used to be a a rockstar of Ballet in Communist Romania. When we first discussed the possibility of a portrait, Ion was initially thrilled. He’d been dreaming that someday there’d be a film about him. But during the filmmaking process Ion finds it hard to let go.
