CINEMA: Zack Galifianakis Presents Craigslist Joe

 

When the country’s economy and sense of community was crumbling, one guy left everything behind to see if he could survive solely off the goodwill of America’s new town square: Craigslist. America is a wealthy, diverse and technologically sophisticated country – yet some say we’ve lost the sense of community that used to carry us through tough times. Today it’s every person for themselves. Have we become so caught up in our own lives that we don’t notice life outside of our bubble? 29-year-old filmmaker Joseph Garner decides to find out. He cuts himself off from everyone he knows and everything he owns, to embark on an adventure. For 31 days and nights, Joe will live entirely off the alms of America’s new town square: Craigslist. From transportation to food, shelter and companionship, Joe depends solely on the generosity of people he meets through this massive digital swap meet. CRAIGSLIST JOE hits Theaters and Video on Demand August 2, 2012.
