Cinema Brut
Doom Scroll • 27-Mar-2018
Setting out to “make a movie” on the streets of NYC, a man recruits strangers to act alongside him in “movie scenes.” Using a hidden camera prank show format, “Cinema Brut” is notable for capturing the strange ways people respond when asked to perform, and for the highly committed performance by Bennett Clarkson beaming with manic energy and repartee.
Depending on your tolerance for the cringeworthy, it's either hard to watch or impossible to look away from.
Made by Dustin Waldman, Nicholas Nazmi, and Bennett Clarkson.
