- Synopsis
- After being diagnosed with leukemia in 1993, Danny picks up a camcorder and begins to create a film, with himself as the central character. The lo-fi Vancouver cityscape reflects back an alienated existentialism as Danny grapples with his personal demons, spurred on in the face of his own mortality.
  
  Danny - as himself - is affable and accomplished. He is intelligent enough to have built an impressive sailboat, but also seemingly unable to fend off his neurosis, frustration, and regret. What comes forth is a sometimes-humorous, sometimes-heartbreaking found footage documentary about disease, mental illness, and manhood.
