Star Vehicle

By: Bloom, Ian

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.
