HEART OF GARTMAN

Documentary featuring Duluth, MN musician Marc Gartman. Includes interviews with Al Sparhawk (Low), Dave Carroll (Trampled by Turtles), Eric Pollard (Actual Wolf), Matt Mobley, Brian "Lefty" Johnson. The year is 2012 and Marc Gartman is in turmoil. He has been a dedicated musician in his adopted home of Duluth, MN. But after many years of struggling, he's hit a wall of mounting frustration and hurt. We meet him at the crossroads of working through his depression and finding a new path (through therapy, on Lexipro, as a fry cook, as a taxi driver, playing 80's keyboard, swapping his touring van for a sensible Buick, and euthanizing his ailing cat “Puppy”). Begun in 2012. Editing completed in 2022 and 2023.
