Shot across the better part of the last decade, Seth Pomeroy’s long-gestating portrait of Nashville-based comedian, writer, podcaster and political candidate Chris Crofton emerges from the shadows — covering its subject from ascent, descent, and to ascent again. The film intersperses archival footage from the 1990s-2010s, following Crofton from Nashville to pre-COVID exile in Los Angeles — including a pivotal roller skating injury — and features commentary/appearances by departed local luminaries Dave Cloud and David Berman. Plenty of living luminaries show up as well, including Neil Hamburger and My Morning Jacket’s Jim James in a crucial “save.”
