Trimpin

I knew roughly what Trimpin was going to be about, but within the first 10 minutes, I was really surprised. The first thing I notices about the film was its simplicity. I think it fits very well because it states early on that Trimpin has no cell phone, website, email, or anything. He is a simple guy with a complex mind. I really like that they included the facts about him in the beginning because it really makes you think for the rest of the film “Wow! That’s awesome!”

I think the filmmaker did a really good job of capturing Trimpin’s own “mind”. All the shots of him in his studio and shopping for parts were hilarious because you think “This guy is crazy”. The shots really make you want to get inside his head because even though the shots are simple, Trimpin makes them interesting and thought provoking.

I know Trimpin is really interesting guy with a brilliant mind, but I almost wish there was someone else major in the entire film to kind of bring it together. I would have made it more interesting and easier to watch because you didn't have to have your attention on one person the whole time. It got a little easier when he began working with the Kronos Quartet. That performance was really awesome.

I liked the film and I thought it was interesting, but it was probably one of my least favorite out of the Southern Circuit Films. I just want a little more action, conflict, or people in general. It was good, just not my favorite. For anyone who is really musical, I would definitely recommend this film to them.
