Why It's FilmBuff
Every filmmaker working today credits someone as his or her influence. In KEVIN, the Duplass brothers look at their personal hero who never quite made it. While some find him irrelevant, the Duplass brothers show that even the unknowns have an ability to make lasting impressions on the art of the world. We love that inspiration can come from everywhere and that success is really just a relative term.

Film Reviews:
  • "Still happy and heavily spiritual, Gant is living his life, he just doesn’t make music any longer. Like any good fan who wants to see an artist doing well, Duplass not-so-subtly uses his camera and newfound success to lend a hand to Gant in ways that are, well, super cool and I never saw them coming. Yes, what transpires kind of breaks the code of the documentarian (a point Duplass acknowledges) but I say “screw it.” Artists should be able to help artists if they can and I give kudos to Jay Duplass for being proactive in that sense.
