Point and Shoot

Emmy nominee and winner of the Best Documentary Award at the Tribeca Film Festival, POINT AND SHOOT tells the story of Matthew VanDyke, a timid 26-year-old with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, who left home in Baltimore USA, and set off on a self-described "crash course in manhood." He bought a motorcycle and a video camera and began a multi-year, 35,000-mile motorcycle trip through Northern Africa and the Middle East. While traveling, he struck up an unlikely friendship with a Libyan hippie, and when revolution broke out in Libya, Matt joined his friend in the fight against dictator Muammar Gaddafi. With a gun in one hand and a camera in the other, Matt fought in - and filmed - the war until he was captured by Gaddafi forces and held in solitary confinement for six months. Two-time Academy Award nominated documentary filmmaker Marshall Curry tells this harrowing and sometimes humorous story of a young man's search for political revolution and personal transformation.
