"There are movers, there are shakers, and there are shirkers."

In 1992, teenager Sandi Tan shot Singapore's first indie road movie with her enigmatic American mentor Georges – who then vanished with all the footage. Twenty years later, the 16mm film is recovered, sending Tan, now a novelist in Los Angeles, on a personal odyssey in search of Georges' vanishing footprints.

Shirkers is an amazing documentary about being able to realize some version of a dream after it has been completely shattered. Anyone who has ever contemplated making a film or even got so far as making one has experienced what Sandi Tam did in some way. This is her way of reflecting on the past and moving on. Great stuff!
