"Looking for Cormac" is a 33 1/3 minute documentary that follows the trail of our greatest living writer, Cormac McCarthy, from his origins in Knoxville, Tennessee, through New Orleans and into the vast expanse of Texas.
The film deals with the terrain of the American West, McCarthyesque characters and the mystery that is your heart's desire.
Unavailable in its full length version for many years, this posting marks the reemergence of this seminal fanumentary, the directorial debut of filmmaker Eric Davies, together with filmmaker/musician/carnival barker John McKay, and filmmaker and painter Jim Collier.
The film also features rare recordings from elusive Greenwich Village singer-songwriter Jack Foy, whose erie story is the subject of a follow up film now some twenty years in the making, and due to be released from the same film makers later this decade.
Looking For Cormac has played at film festivals across the country, the Film Forum in New York City, and VHS and DVR players across Brooklyn.
Click play, and join these pilgrims as they enter the world of McCarthy, and encounter characters that seem sprung from the pages of Blood Meridian, Child of God, Suttree and other dark classics.
