Factotum
“What matters most is how well you walk through the fire”
Drama
This drama centers on Hank Chinaski, the fictional alter-ego of "Factotum" author Charles Bukowski, who wanders around Los Angeles, CA trying to live off jobs which don't interfere with his primary interest, which is writing. Along the way, he fends off the distractions offered by women, drinking and gambling.
VIBE
A raw, unflinching look at a writer's descent into the gutter. It's a portrait of artistic struggle, boozy nights, and the search for meaning in the mundane. Expect a bleak, yet strangely compelling, journey.
