Having only seen the trailer and with the absence of a synopsis, it makes me summarize Sean Dunne's documentary "Florida Man" to be all about people, a work with great visuals and intimate portraits. Reading Sean's interview done by Directors Notes, you find out that the initial difficulty grasping the film was on purpose:
It’s about the struggle. More than any of my previous work I really wanted Florida Man to open us up and gain permission from our audience to get loose and make films that aren’t necessarily about any one thing. In the process I feel like we made a film that is kind of about everything. We purposely set out to make a film that was hard to describe, a film that you have to experience, something that transcends the current confines of this beautiful medium. If viewers feel like they were there with us, like they were laughing with Florida Man, not at him, then we’ve done our job. Well-made documentaries, in my opinion, should leave you feeling introspective, not judgmental, not above the subject, but one with them. That’s what we were trying to accomplish with Florida Man.
