David Farrier is a filmmaker who has already found himself discovering more than he expected with his breakout hit documentary, “Tickled,” which dove deep into the incredibly strange and shocking world of competitive tickling. However, he seems to have inadvertently stumbled into another twisty story with his upcoming doc, “Mister Organ.”
As seen in the new trailer for the film, “Mister Organ” begins as an investigative documentary about a business in Farrier’s neighborhood with a number of questions. However, as the filmmaker looks into the owner of the business and his mysterious, potentially criminal past, the filmmaker discovers there is much more to the story than he originally thought. And this discovery puts the filmmaker squarely at the center of the film.
We reviewed “Mister Organ” out of last year’s Fantastic Fest, and in our review, we said, “Farrier bit off more than he could chew and choked it all down anyways, and that kind of journalism deserves a medal. It deserves its own sub-category, too: Fucking Around And Finding Out. He’s half the reason ‘Mister Organ’ deserves attention. The other half is the satisfaction of getting to the bottom of a good, seedy mystery, and few come as seedy as this.”
“Mister Organ” debuts in select theaters on October 6 and begins nationwide expansion on October 13. You can watch the trailer below.
Here’s the synopsis:
Intrepid journalist and filmmaker David Farrier, whose previous film Tickled became a global sensation for exposing the dark underbelly of competitive endurance tickling, faces off against his greatest foe yet in MISTER ORGAN, an enthralling and bizarre tale that finds Farrier in a dangerous game of cat and mouse with a mysterious con man who is wreaking havoc on his neighborhood.
