i love this film . i remember see it year ago on a nyc pb station on a rainy night and i be immediately draw into it . a southern documentary filmmaker start to make his film about civil war general sherman but he break up with his girlfriend and go back home down south and start film everyone in his life ( his parent and his sibling and his friend ) and they be all give him advice on his struggle film career and his love life and they all try and fix him up with all these southern belle and he just film it all . it be fascinate and funny and real . well and as real a life can be when you know someone have a film camera on their shoulder and they be film you . i also highly recommend the two follow ups to this time indefinite and the six oclock news . ross mcelwee be an incredibly talented filmmaker and a sweet and neurotic human be who have no trouble bar his soul on film . check this film out .
