I was absolutely fascinated by "In & Of Itself". Adapting a stage performance to film can be extremely difficult, but I felt like this was one of the most successful adaptations I've seen because it leaned into things you can do with film that are not available live. The narrative is obviously incredibly personal, and the structure and presentation were impressive achievements both technically and in terms of the overarching vision of it as a film. Just a wonderful use of film as a tool for expanded storytelling.
It reminded of Orson Welles' "F for Fake" in some ways. I'm curious if there were any films that might have inspired you?
