On the Corner of Ego and Desire from 2019 is a mockumentary style movie that follows three indie filmmakers as they journey to the Sundance Film Festival to try and sell their movie. The movie is directed and produced by Alex Ferrari, who also plays himself in the movie. The three characters are Rob Alicea, who plays Rob the director, Richard Botto, who plays Richard the producer, and Adam Bowman, who plays Adam the DP (Director of Photography). All three of them are struggling filmmakers who have poured their hearts and souls into their independent movie, hoping that it will be picked up at Sundance and they will all achieve their big break.

The movie begins with the three filmmakers driving to Sundance from Los Angeles in a beat-up old RV. The RV is essentially their home for the entire trip, and it quickly becomes apparent that the three of them are not only dealing with physical discomfort, but also with a great deal of emotional baggage. Rob is dealing with the fact that he has had to compromise his vision for the movie due to budget constraints, Richard is dealing with the fact that he has sunk all of his own money into the project, and Adam is dealing with the fact that he is in love with one of the actresses in the movie.

As they journey to Sundance, the filmmakers encounter a number of obstacles and setbacks. They are pulled over by the police, they get lost in the desert, and they even have their RV towed. However, despite these setbacks, the three of them remain optimistic that they will be able to sell their movie at Sundance and achieve their dreams.

When they finally arrive at Sundance, they quickly discover that the reality of the festival is far different from their dreams. They struggle to find anyone who is interested in their movie, and they quickly realize that they are just one small fish in a very large pond. Along the way, they encounter a number of other characters, including a Hollywood producer who promises to help them, but who ultimately just takes advantage of them.

Despite these setbacks, the three filmmakers remain persistent, and they continue to try and generate buzz for their movie. They attend parties and screenings, and they even create a fake protest in order to try and get attention. Along the way, they learn a great deal about themselves and about the film industry.

On the Corner of Ego and Desire is a humorous and heartfelt look at the independent film industry. The movie is shot entirely in a mockumentary style, which gives it an authentic feel. The three main actors all give compelling performances, bringing a great deal of depth to their characters.

Overall, On the Corner of Ego and Desire is a must-see movie for anyone who has ever dreamed of making it in the film industry. It is a funny, endearing, and ultimately inspiring look at the struggles and triumphs of independent filmmakers.
