"Faster Than A Fax Machine" is a Feature length documentary directed by Alan Gray that explores a year in the life of a subway performer Chris and bike messenger Bullet, an aspiring rapper/rocker, as they set out to make it in the music industry.
Following the screening of this emotional, and often humor filled
movie will be a music performance by one of the films main subjects, Chris Wilhelm, and a solo acoustic song by Bullet.
Documentary Synopsis
'Faster Than A Fax Machine'
Follow the day-to-day drama of a singer/songwriter and an aspiring
rapper/rocker as they set out to make it in the music industry. Chris Wilhelm has been performing and writing songs since the age of 13 and has something to prove to himself and the music world. After a prison stint, the street-smart Garland "Bullet" Cook is more determined than ever to get the songs in his head recorded. While balancing day-jobs with their never-ending love and passion for music, they remain undaunted by the many obstacles of the music business. Humor and drama unfold as two very different artist taste both success and failure while never giving up on their dreams.
I appreciate all your continued support and look forward to seeing all of you at the screening.
