Director David Markey's entry into the 2008 Rotterdam Film Festival follows the folks who make the walk down Hollywood Boulevard a psychotropic, pop-culture implosion the likes of which could never exist outside of Los Angeles. For the men and women who dress up like Hollywood icons and pose for photographs with tourists, quality of life is measured in one-dollar bills. While some do it in hopes of landing their big break in the entertainment industry, others assume their cinematic alter egos simply so that they can afford a hot meal at the end of the day. But could it be that the real lives of these colorful street characters actually eclipse the appeal of the icons they have appropriated? In this film, director Markey presents Hollywood Boulevard as seen from their unique perspective, allowing the viewer to stroll these streets for a day and experience what it's live in the flesh of a fictional character. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Four mere mortals adapt the personas of their favorite superhero characters, and filmmaker Matt Ogens chronicles the lives and ambitions of this curious quartet in a documentary that explores the allure of fame on the sidewalks of Hollywood Boulevard. Being a superhero isn't as easy as it appears in the flickering light of a darkened theater, but sometimes on the Walk of Fame it feels that anything is possible. Joe McQueen's journey began when he sold his Super Nintendo for a bus ticket to Hollywood and assumed the identity of The Incredible Hulk. Meanwhile, much like the character of Bruce Wayne, Maxwell Allen struggles with anger issues while assuming the guise of Gotham crime-fighter Batman. Now far from her former days as a Midwest beauty queen, Jennifer Gehrt walks the city streets dressed as whip-wielding do-gooder Wonder Woman. Some days, it seems that Christopher Dennis' every thought is consumed by how the character of Superman, whose cape he dons on a daily basis, would react to the chaos of Tinseltown. From mere fascination to all-consuming obsession, each one of these everyday superheroes are forced balance their own identities with the personas of the characters they portray as they struggle to achieve fame in a town where heroes are cheap, and stars come priced at a dime a dozen. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
