The Reinactors (DVD), We Got Power Films, Documentary

Reinactors follows the exploits and misadventures of film character impersonators and celebrity look-a-likes on Hollywood Boulevard over the span of a year. Recognizable characters and stars of movies are portrayed by anyone who chooses to buy the costume and brave the mean streets of Hollyweird. These street characters have big dreams of breaking into the big-time, if they can keep themselves out of jail or their hands from each other's neck. These characters are literally right out of the movies, yet the unforeseen drama of the people underneath the make-up threatens to eclipse the bizarre array of Hollywood film icons they appropriate. Like a great-depression era Hollywood classic retold for the new millennium, the Reinactors is a film about the cutthroat nature backstage and behind the scenes of show business. A profound statement on where we are at culturally in America at the moment. An American Idol on crack, if you will.
