I'm Still Here

Oscar®-nominated actor Casey Affleck in his directorial debut, together with fellow Oscar®-nominee Joaquin Poenix, blow the roof off of conventional filmmaking in this unique and groundbreaking experimental project. Joaquin gives a powerful performance as "JP," an out-of-control Hollywood celebrity who commits career suicide in announcing that he is "retiring" from acting, while at the top of his game, to become a hip-hop star. JP shuts himself off from the protection and better judgment of his agent, manager, and publicist, and sets out on a jaw-dropping journey into a decadent frenzy of sex, drugs, and outrageousness, as he tries desperately to break away from his old celebrity persona to develop his rap career. Mired in self-doubt and harsh criticism from the media, he struggles to find his identity. (Tricia Spears)
