Chris Crofton

Follow a small group of elderly “Peeping Toms” through the shadows and margins of an unfamiliar world. Crudely documented by the participants themselves, we follow the debased and shocking actions of a group of true sociopaths the likes of which have never been seen before. Inhabiting a world of broken dreams and beyond the limits of morality, they crash against a torn and frayed America.

Shot across the better part of the last decade, Seth Pomeroy’s long-gestating portrait of Nashville-based comedian, writer, podcaster and political candidate Chris Crofton emerges from the shadows — covering its subject from ascent, descent, and to ascent again. The film intersperses archival footage from the 1990s-2010s, following Crofton from Nashville to pre-COVID exile in Los Angeles — including a pivotal roller skating injury — and features commentary/appearances by departed local luminaries Dave Cloud and David Berman. Plenty of living luminaries show up as well, including Neil Hamburger and My Morning Jacket’s Jim James in a crucial “save.”

Two loser brothers and their simpleton roommate's lives are forever changed when a mysterious meteor strikes their house.
