In
the
wake
of
Quentin
Tarantino's
shaking
up
of
Hollywood
in
the
'90s
with
Reservoir
Dogs
and
Pulp
Fiction,
the
modern
movie-making
process
and
genre-blending
hit
a
new
high,
and
with
it
came
the
sometimes
blatant,
sometimes
hushed
search
for
the
“next
Tarantino”.
One
of
these
new
generation
rebel
movie
makers
from
that
decade
was
Troy
Duffy.
A
bartender
with
an
unknown
band,
Duffy's
screenplay
for
the
violent
Boondock
Saints
made
its
way
to
Hollywood
muscle,
the
Weinsteins
of
Miramax.
The
deal
was
unheard
of
–
Duffy
would
make
his
directorial
debut
with
his
first
script
to
the
tune
of
a
$15
million
budget,
his
band
would
do
the
soundtrack,
and
the
Weinsteins
offered
to
actually
buy
him
the
bar
he
worked
at.
But,
as
so
easily
happens,
the
project
got
postponed
and
put
in
turnaround,
the
bar
deal
falling
away
and
the
project
seeming
to
be
dead
in
the
water.
Along
the
line
friends
of
Duffy
was
shooting
a
documentary
on
his
journey,
and
the
footage
slowly
unpacks
his
already
big
ego
to
becoming
a
fully
blown
power
mad
asshole,
screwing
everyone,
including
himself.
It
is
a
painful
and
fascinating
watch
with
some
jaw-dropping
moments.
While
essential
for
movie
makers
to
watch,
Overnight
is
not
reserved
for
people
in,
or
interested
in
the
movie
industry,
but
anyone
interested
in
how
the
human
animal
functions
when
taken
from
one
environment
and
placed
into
another
artificially
superior
one.
As
an
extra
feature,
you
get
the
entire
Boondock
Saints
movie!
