I have seen this via his sister. I would love to see this film entered in a U.S.A. film festival, and maybe eventually find its way to the Acadamey Awards. Like I said, I watched it (twice, actually), and it's FANTASTIC. It's a very unique and well done documentary. Thanks for posting it.

Looking forward to seeing this, he was a fascinating character, a funny unforgettable guy. A true one of a kind.

Knowing Shustak, he probably would've found that comment very funny...anyway he wouldn't have cared what you thought that's for sure!

Looks utterly fantastic, Stuart, great job! I can't wait to see it. :)
