VICE Fringes sez:

When AMC’s Breaking Bad premiered in 2008, one of Alabama’s most successful meth cooks was already knee deep in building a massive meth empire. His name? Walter White. In this documentary, Walter tells us the secret behind his product, how he stacked up thousands of dollars per day, and why his partner is now serving two life sentences.

An Irish skateboard documentary? You better believe it. Directed by JJ Rolfe.

The initial driving force behind the scene was a proprietor of a unique skate shop in North Dublin inner city – ‘Clive’s of Hill Street’. From here, Clive Rowen single-handedly progressed the skate scene through the building of primitive ramps at the shop before graduating to a temporary skate park in the Top Hat Ballroom in Dún Laoghaire, Co Dublin….an exploration of a sport trying to legitimise itself against the backdrop of 80s Ireland.

G’wan the Conor!

Untitled’ directed and edited by myself, a Kerry expat in New York of 4 years, profiles an artist turned drag queen in Brooklyn. The film, originally commissioned for Accent Magazine, explores how the life of artist Matthew de Leon has changed since he gave rise to his drag persona, Untitled, 12 months ago. Giving a humanizing insight in to the world of drag the film questions the role art plays in entertainment and vice versa. I hope you enjoy it!

A faux documentary written by London-based VFX supremo Hasraf ‘HaZ’ Dulull (The Dark Knight, Prince Of Persia) detailing mankind’s first interstellar travel in the not-to-distant future.

As the mission unfolds with extraordinary results, the scientists find themselves dealing with a much bigger agenda.

Since the film was released last week, Dulull has been signed by Hollywood to develop and direct a feature-film version.

Alex Gibney’s 2008 documentary Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, in its full and glorious whacked-outnity for your delectation this lazy afternoon.

IMDb adds:

Fueled by a raging libido, Wild Turkey, and superhuman doses of drugs, Thompson was a true “free lance, ” goring sacred cows with impunity, hilarity, and a steel-eyed conviction for writing wrongs. Focusing on the good doctor’s heyday, 1965 to 1975, the film includes clips of never-before-seen (nor heard) home movies, audiotapes, and passages from unpublished manuscripts.
