That unfathomable and sometimes unexplainable need to do something or believe in something or someone is what ties these shorts together. Spear hunting, maps, the Renaissance Faire, Mars, ballroom gowns, Santa and (for some) an unacceptable desire are all explored in these never boring and often fascinating docs. -JM

Deep in the wilds of rural Alabama, a spear-hunter proclaims himself the world's greatest and erects a museum dedicated to his own bizarre obsession. In this atmospheric and darkly funny documentary, an offbeat cast of lovers, acolytes, and critics of the megalomaniacal spear-hunter remember his distinctive tactics both for killing and for leaving a legacy.
