Driver 23 (1999) and The Atlas Moth (2001) document seven years in the life of Dan Cleveland, a Minneapolis-based rock guitarist/deliveryman and his band, Dark Horse. In spite of, or because of his obsessive-compulsive disorder, Dan is driven with an existential need to accomplish something... anything. He faces obstacles with uncanny determination and the help of a variety of homemade inventions. An antidote for the manufactured puff pieces of the MTV era, these two films show the gritty reality and stranger-than-fiction comedy of an aspiring rock star.
