Directed by two-time Academy Award nominated documentary filmmaker Marshall Curry, SPECTRUM is pleased to announce the UK cinema release of POINT AND SHOOT on January 16th 2015.
Winner of the “Best Documentary” award at the 2014 Tribeca Film Festival, POINT AND SHOOT tells the story of Matt VanDyke, a timid 27-year-old with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, who left home in Baltimore and set off on a self-described “crash course in manhood”. He bought a motorcycle, a video camera and begun a three-year, 35,000-mile motorcycle trip through Northern Africa and the Middle East.
While travelling, he struck up an unlikely friendship with a Libyan hippie, and when revolution broke out, Matt joined his new found friend in the fight against Dictator Muammar Gaddafi. With a gun in one hand and a camera in the other, Matt fought in – and filmed – the war until he was captured by Gaddafi forces and held in solitary confinement for six months.
Two-time Academy Award nominated documentary filmmaker Marshall Curry (Street Fight, If a Tree Falls: A Story of the Earth Liberation Front) expertly tells this harrowing and sometimes humorous story of a young man’s struggle for political revolution and personal transformation.
