Directed by Doug Block
Run Time: 102 min Public Performance Rights Licensing: Starting at $299 Organizations & institutions please contact info@passionriver.com for a quote Synopsis: The year is 1996, and documentary filmmaker Doug Block, fascinated by this new thing called the internet, trains his wry, analytical lens on the burgeoning home page (i.e. blogging) phenomenon.
He soon falls under the spell of 21-year old cyber superstar Justin Hall, whose (literally) bare-all online diary spares no details about friends, family, lovers, and, inevitably, Block himself. When Hall goads the filmmaker into keeping his own online diary, the story takes an unexpectedly personal turn, with hilarious and deeply affecting results. Home Page proves to be an astonishingly prescient historical document of our confession-crazed culture. |
