Reinactors (DVD)

The exploits and misadventures of film character impersonators and celebrity look-a-likes on Hollywood Boulevard. Freddy Krueger works alongside Marilyn Monroe, Shrek, Lucy, Batman and Borat. Competing Chewbaccas, Supermen and Captain Jack Sparrows vie for a spot on the limited real estate of The Walk of Fame. These street characters have big dreams of breaking into the big time, in the meantime they forge a living one dollar at a time posing for photos with tourists. These characters are literally right out of the movies, yet the unforeseen drama of the people underneath the make-up threatens to eclipse the bizarre array of Hollywood film icons they appropriate. From famed Los Angeles director David Markey (1991: The Year Punk Broke, The Slog Movie, Desperate Teenage Lovedolls).
