My Heart is an Idiot premieres Thursday at the Bootleg Theater, 2220 Beverly Blvd, in Echo Park.
Screening and Conversation with Davy Rothbaart and David MeiklejohnMy Heart Is An Idiot is a documentary about love that spans two years and over a hundred cities. The film captures the road-tripping lifestyle of
Davy Rothbart (This American Life) who looks for love in all the right places, and in all the wrong ways. Climb in the van as Davy tours North
America promoting his magazine FOUND, a virally popular and iconic printed collection of discarded notes and photographs. Along the way, Davy seeks advice on his tortured love life from people he meets (Zooey Deschanel, Ira Glass, Newt Gingrich, and Davy's mom), and attempts to follow that advice, with comic and surprising results.
Rothbard created Found magazine in 2001, a zine compiling things lost and found
Davy has now published 7 issues of Found magazine, 3 issues of Dirty Found, 3 Found books, 1 book of short stories, 1 book of Found polaroids, and 1 book of Found photographs.
He's also been a featured guest on This American Life.
