What does it really take to create and complete a motion picture outside of the Hollywood system? How does a writer/director in the 2000s make a feature-film without compromising his vision? Hearts of Dorkness is a living, documentary project--happening now--that is following Patrick Read Johnson across the country, looking to discover answers to these questions, and to share with audiences what they find. Hearts of Dorkness is a documentary in-the-making about the Making (and Finishing) of Patrick Read Johnson’s award-winning film independent film, 5-25-77.
