"It's great. We call it a 'personal documentary' …
a documentary on Vance's career but it's also how the blues
music and how things have affected Kai-Duc while he's been
living here … Kai as a chicago filmmaker is pretty cool …
this guy's got some talent... he quit his job just to focus
on filmmaking and finishing this film. It's reflective, it's
poetic … those kind of reflections, sort of internal musings
are juxtaposing with Vance Kelly who's a real showman and
very raunchy.
This film has a lot of character and personality."
