Trailer for My Heart Is An Idiot, a documentary by David Meiklejohn and Davy Rothbart. Spanning two years and over a hundred cities, My Heart Is An Idiot captures Davy Rothbart's manic road-tripping lifestyle as he tours North America in a van promoting his magazine FOUND, an annual collection of discarded and recovered notes, letters, photographs, and ephemera. Along the way, Davy seeks advice on his tortured love life from a motley crew of characters (including Zooey Deschanel, Ira Glass, Newt Gingrich, and a guy named Steve who is sitting outside a gas station in the mountains of Oregon), and attempts to follow that advice, with surprising results. My Heart Is An Idiot is currently in post-production.

A few days ago a friend told me about one way to get a tapeworm out of your body: fast for a few days, then breathe in from a bowl of warm soup, and the tapeworm will work its way up and you can grab it when it crawls out of your mouth. This videochunk is sort of like that. It took some coaxing, but I pulled myself away from editing on my computer screen to.... edit this for you on my computer screen. My Heart is an Idiot, a documentary film, coming in the future sometime. For more info: www.myheartisanidiot.com

Videochunk number four! WITNESS: A gory toenail accident, medicine ball madness, a charming woman passionately saying the word "ballsy", the mask of the face of the man who wears it, a dog that drags his back legs (yet is not paralyzed), an automatic rifle that creates happiness, and more*! SEE THE SPECTACLE!!!!!!!1 * and by "more" I mean "trampoline backflips, muscle men, and NBA dissing."

Spanning two years and over a hundred cities, My Heart Is An Idiot captures Davy Rothbart's manic road-tripping lifestyle as he tours North America in a van promoting his magazine FOUND, an annual collection of discarded and recovered notes, letters, photographs, and ephemera. Along the way, Davy seeks advice on his tortured love life from a motley crew of characters (including Zooey Deschanel, Ira Glass, Newt Gingrich, Damali Ayo, and a giant white dog named Amadeus), and attempts to follow that advice, with alternately comical and tragic results. Like Sherman's March doused in Maker's Mark, My Heart Is An Idiot is a cautionary kiss on the lips of Generation Irony. When everyone has a strategy, love is unbelievable.
