Star Vehicle

Ian Bloom wrote Star Vehicle at age 32, three days after returning to Hollywood from Zurich, Milan, Paris, London, and New York. High fashion sharpened - Rick Owens ballistic, Helmut Lang cool, and Martin Margiela final-form - Bloom returned to America - eagle-landed and drilled to the core.Written on impulse.Self-greenlit.Before the studios could name it.Then he made the film himself.One-man production.Dual-role performance.Painted title cards.Original end-credit song.Total authorship. Singular direction.Star Vehicle is Bloom's debut feature film - a full-frontal monologue in motion - a minimalist cinema with maximal consequence. The dialogue is a knife fight: Glengarry Glen Ross crossed with The American Friend - hyper-aware, utterly unbothered, prophecy's gun in hand.This is the American screenplay: commerce, culture, cinema, cosmology - collapsed into one vehicle.Brand as destiny.Myth as operating system.Hollywood as a balance sheet with a soul.Welcome to the Canon.This is Star Vehicle.
