GETTING GO: THE GO DOC PROJECT screens at 9:15pm Monday April 28th
“Getting Go” is an artful look at modern dating and honesty in the digital era. Doc, a shy and somewhat nerdy college student, invents a fake documentary project to get close to Go, a sexy male go-go dancer. A soon-to-be college graduate in NYC, Doc spends his time shut in a dark bedroom making Tumblr video posts about his obsession with Go. One drunken evening, Doc sends Go an e-mail – the new drunk dialing – and asks him to be in a documentary for an ill-defined school assignment. Even after Doc shows up without a camera, Go surprises him and says yes to participating in the project. The film and their relationship take off from there, with “Getting Go” chronicling the developing relationship.
GETTING GO: THE GO DOC PROJECT is directed by Cory Krueckeberg and the screening is sponsored by Coffee Cartel
Brad Addison at The Long Beach Post wrote of GETTING GO: THE GO DOC PROJECT :
“many of us have dreamt about and some have had the chance to actually experience: an intense summer fling whose passion burns reason. And Corey Krueckeberg’s visually and audibly dazzling debut does just that through music montages and the documentary-style lens perpetually carried by its lead character, Doc”
And over at Popingay they wrote:
“Set against a soundtrack of queer artists that makes you immediately want to download every song …The Go Doc Project is likely coming to a film festival near you, and is absolutely worth the watch. Both serious and light-hearted, it will leave you wanting more—like a good go-go boy should.”
