My Heart Is An Idiot's Blurbs |
About me:
My Heart Is An Idiot is a documentary about love from filmmakers David Meiklejohn and Davy Rothbart. Currently the film is in post-production, which means that David spends more time in front of a computer than out in sunlight with normal people.
Spanning two years and over a hundred cities, My Heart Is An Idiot captures Davy Rothbart's manic road-tripping lifestyle as he tours North America in a van promoting his magazine FOUND, an annual collection of discarded and recovered notes, letters, photographs, and ephemera. Along the way, Davy seeks advice on his tortured love life from a motley crew of characters (including Zooey Deschanel, Ira Glass, Newt Gingrich, Damali Ayo, and a giant white dog named Amadeus), and attempts to follow that advice, with alternately comical and tragic results.
Like Sherman's March doused in Maker's Mark, My Heart Is An Idiot is a cautionary kiss on the lips of Generation Irony. When everyone has a strategy, love is unbelievable.

Who I'd like to meet:
Anyone who has loved another person and survived to tell the tale. If you could write a letter to your younger self with advice about love, what would that letter say?

Here's what people have said about My Heart Is An Idiot so far:
"My Heart is an Idiot, a documentary film project-in-progress currently represented by a trailer-like short on MySpace, isn’t exactly emo, but it’s something close. Let’s call it Tweemo, to be defined from here on out as 'kind of like Emo, but with less eyeliner and way more Belle and Sebastian.' The project’s director, David Meiklejohn, could be America’s Tweemo Sweetheart." --from NewTeeVee
"Wow, this movie looks super endearing and sweet and not in a barfy way." --from BuzzFeed
"When I first heard about this film, I didn't know what to expect -- I mean, could they have picked a bigger topic? However, now that I've seen a preview, I can't wait to watch more." --from Pop Candy
"I love his NPR voice, I just wish his hair wasn't so emo." --from a dream or a song
"this is going to be an amazing film. when it's done." --from meanmama
"The first video chunk is touching…charming…and intriguing." --from The Yellow Stereo
"Go see My Heart Is An Idiot when it comes out, especially if you are a couple. Aren’t movies like the only thing you people do anymore?" --from Shortcake
"These guys are very comical and witty and inspiring. You would like them. You would like this film. Maybe your heart is an idiot. Maybe your heart is an idiot savant. My heart is a straight up foo’ , but take my advice that you should certainly see this film when it becomes available to you." --from Death and the Maiden
"The first 'video chunk' is up now, and it has all the hallmarks of the kind of sweet, big-hearted indie project that makes me go a little weak in the knees." --from BuzzSugar
"This shouldn't be nearly as interesting as it is." --from The Litter Box
