Billy Luck

Synopsis

“First I was his documentarian, then I was his enabler, now I’m his doppelganger...” Over 25 years ago, filmmaker Jeff Krulik fell under the spell of local photographer, musician and writer Chris Earnshaw, a manic yet fascinating walking encyclopedia of Washington, DC’s cultural and architectural history. The two started wandering the streets of DC, recording Chris riffing on the vanishing cityscape — the lost downtown he captured in photos beginning as a child, eventually amassing thousands of stills. But as the hours of footage and the years wore on, Chris found himself a local art star, with a front-page story in the Washington Post Arts section, while Jeff’s original documentary endeavor turned upside down, going haywire, becoming something else entirely. A film by Jeff Krulik, Greg DeLiso and Dina Selfridge.
