Released in 2005, James Westby’s Film Geek is a micro-budget independent feature capturing the obsessive, pre-streaming culture of a Portland, Oregon cinephile. The film follows Scotty Pelk, a socially inept video store clerk whose life is entirely defined by his fanatic attachment to cinema. With a "DIY" aesthetic and $10,000 budget, it acts as a character-driven comedy exploring the disconnection between real-world relationships and vicarious cinematic experiences.
