Matthew Vandyke in Point and Shoot (2014)
Matt VanDyke, a timid 26-year-old with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, left home in Baltimore in 2006 and set off on a self-described “crash course in manhood.” He bought a motorcycle and a video camera and began a three-year, 35,000-mile motorcycle trip through Northern Africa and the Middle East. While traveling, he struck up an unlikely friendship with a Libyan hippie, and when revolution broke out in Libya, Matt joined his friend in the fight against dictator Muammar Gaddafi.

    For those who enjoy the adventures of non-conformists
    The star of this film is a very unusual person. Many of the reviewers here resent that, complaining that he's OCD, has no qualifications for anything, and a typical narcissist. These are people who are quick to judge, because something is strange to them, and therefore offensive. They are so smart and worldly that they feel they can tell everyone else in the world how to make a film, how to live their life, and gleefully describe all the short comings. Nevermind that these unqualified critics have never accomplished much themselves... they just know what people should do, and they get their thoughts, unedited, on the Internet.

    This is a very smart, very unique portrait by genius filmmaker Marshall Curry. Look at all his awards and achievements, and measure your life against his, if you really want to be a serious critic and understand the nooks and crannies of great cinema. If you don't measure up, then please realize nobody gives a damn what you think.
