SYNOPSIS<\/strong> | After a decade of cinematic shortfalls, genre filmmaker A.D. Calvo embarks on a journey of self-discovery. Armed with a GoPro, an iPhone and a stellar black Royal Enfield, Calvo tries his hand at creating a surreal motovlog. He rides through graveyards meditating on the past, coming to grips with his identity as a filmmaker, a son, and a displaced Latino. Haunted by the memory of his father, Calvo turns the lens inward giving us a voyeuristic look into his deep-seated anxieties, otherworldly inspirations, and his lonesome path through feature filmmaking. Calvo reinterprets his filmography as episodes on the newly minted channel, “By the Wayside.” Using riding as a metaphor for filmmaking, he searches for the meaning behind the films. His interests, obsessions, and fantasies converge into one another in this DIY hybrid \/ docufiction made over the course of a year. While the film bows to the spirit of uninhibited cin\u00e9ma-v\u00e9rit\u00e9 it also integrates the fantastical, creating a free-flowing self-portrait that unfolds like a reverie. The result is an onion skin that peels itself back to reveal a myopic director searching for his creative center. His reflections unite in a whimsical third act, melding the late-blooming auteur\u2019s elusive personas. \u201cLet the Moon Be My Moon\u201d is an honest look at a forlorn filmmaker who poses the question: Is it worth creating art, even if few will see it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
