This funny, sad, minimalistic doc captures a few moments in the life of my father: a mechanic. Inspired by the aesthetics of Cinéma vérité and kitchen sink realism, this was my attempt at understanding the man, the inscrutable... the enigma known as the Mechanic. Bristling with sardonic wit and armchair philosophy, this tiny examination of working class minutiae is a reminder to me of where I came from, and -- despite much self-denial -- who I'm slowly becoming.
