ABOUT THE FILM:
FAST, CHEAP & OUT OF CONTROL interweaves the stories of four obsessive men, each driven to create eccentric worlds of their dreams, all involving animals: Dave Hoover, a lion tamer; George Mendonça, a topiary gardener who has devoted a lifetime to painstakingly shaping bears and giraffes out of hedges and trees; Ray Mendez, who is fascinated with hairless mole-rats; and Rodney Brooks, an M.I.T. scientist who has designed complex, autonomous robots that can crawl like bugs without specific instructions from a human controller. Starting as a darkly funny contemplation of the Sisyphus-like nature of human striving, the film ultimately becomes a profoundly moving meditation on the very nature of existence.
