Chris Chan Documentary.

A bit off-topic but now that I think of it, an interesting documentary for anyone who has a serious interest in making a CWC documentary (not me - I don't know shit about film editing etc) would be "Dear Mr. Watterson", which is about Calvin & Hobbes creator Bill Watterson. The one thing to know about Watterson is that although he was internationally famous for his beloved comic strip, he was extremely reclusive and rarely - if ever - made media appearances (kind of like a bizarro Chris now that I think about it). So the challenge for the maker of the documentary was to put together a story based on extant sources since nothing exists in terms of Watterson being on camera taking interviews.

Might be something worth looking into since direct interviews with Chris are simply out of the question and would quickly dissolve into insane diatribes anyway.

Crap. I loved that trailer.

I'm a lover of documentaries, and have always thought that CWC would provide a fascinating, but certainly complicated subject for a documentary. I always kept that feeling to myself, based on the number of false starts we've seen over the years.

I completely agree with a PP who said just because the project for school finishes doesn't mean you have to be finished. Also, I think you'd be able to find Charlottesville locals who could provide interesting interviews-there are people in the community who know about him aside from the internet and just as the creepy mall guy.

The semester ended a few days ago, even if I did finish the movie I would only been able to show highlights because of the limited time. That being said to me I basically gave the teacher a middle finger by acting like a drama queen saying this movie is coming from my heart and shit so he would give me extra time to finish it. Long story short its my own project now, but it started out being a school project. Don't worry i was a brown noser in that class so I got an A anyways, because he trusted that I would put allot of work into it.:medallion:

Voice almost dead from all the narrating I had to fix because of audacity issues.*sigh*

But on the bright side its almost done, well it is technically done, but you know just want it up to par with my own standard of quality.

like I said if anyone wants to be in the credits that has honestly contributed to the thread just ask. You know who you are:tomgirl:

Also more ideas welcomed!

I already mentioned this in passing on your wall, but one more film you might want to check out is Grey Gardens, which may have been the world's first lolcow-documentary:


Forty years after its release, it's considered a classic of the genre, and a stunning portrait of bull-goose eccentricity and dysfunction. The entire doc can be watched on YouTube as well.

I'm looking forward to this documentary. Thanks @Holdek for the link to my CWC documentary trailer - I was never making a documentary but I like making trailers for stuff. Glad someone remembers it :)

I think that it would be quite possible to make a CWC documentary following the pattern used by Werner Herzog in Grizzly Man.


The subject of Herzog's film, Timothy Treadwell, spent many summers living in close proximity to wild bears, eventually being killed by one. During his summers with the bears, he shot hours of footage, putting across his point of view and showing exactly how oblivious he was of how dangerous the animals could be.

Herzog's work was mainly in editing Treadwell's footage and providing expository narration. He also filmed a couple of interviews with people who knew Treadwell - including the doctor who examined Treadwell's remains, who manages to be the most unsettling thing in a documentary also featuring enormous carnivorous beasts.

I suppose in summary that Grizzly Man was about someone who showed unwarranted self-importance and a fatal misunderstanding of bears, and a CWC documentary in the same vein would show someone with similar unwarranted self-importance who utterly misunderstood the internet.

I haven't contributed anything yet. But if I do and you decide to use it, you can put my name in the credits if you want.

We're all using handles so I don't think anyone's ashamed to have their username on this, though I wouldn't feel so comfortable with my actual name on a documentary that shows Chris in his thong.

I don't know if I have really contributed other than encouragement, but you can put me on the credits. Why not.

I'm fine either way. It's your call bro.

Since people are throwing in title suggestions, I always thought that if I had made a documentary or wrote about about him, it would have been: Christian Weston Chandler: The Trolling of an Adult Autistic Child

Upset?, I'd proudly display a screencap of it: "See?, that's me! I'm the one who convinced him that he should use that pic of Chris wearing a bra... that sound better in my head, sorry".

But yeah, maybe it's just better to ask instead of risking someones feeling.
