Theory of Achievement (1991)
This short film was packaged on video with Hartley’s featurette “Surviving Desire.” It affectionately examines the lives of a group of “young, middle-class, white, college-educated, unskilled, broke, drunk” Brookylnites who would love to make something of their lives — assuming they can pay the rent first.
Director: Hal Hartley
Actors: Bill Sage, Bob Gosse, Elina Löwensohn, Ingrid Rudefors, Jeffrey Howard, Jessica Sager, Mark Chandler Bailey, Naledi Tshazibane, Nick Gomez
