It's not easy to be an artist, when you have drive and dedication to your craft, but you just can't seem to make a living from it, and no one really appreciates you. But maybe you're like David, whose commitment to his calling might have driven away his father, his girlfriend, job prospects ... but he knows he's meant to be a clown.
UK filmmaker Kate Shenton, whose documentary On Tender Hooks looked at extreme body modification, and whose upcoming fiction feature Egomaniac looks at the horror film industry, is the brains behind the hilarious mockumentary Send in the Clowns, which is now available for all to watch after its festival run (full dicslosure, I programmed it for FrightFest). Part This is Spinal Tap, part It, it's a hilarious and creepy look at the struggles of the artist who just wants to make all the girls scream. Enjoy!
