John Pinette: You Go Now, the biodoc of the comedian, plumbs beneath Pinette’s cherubic skin for insights into what sparked his humor – and his obesity. Let’s just say that his childhood was not the most nurturing.
The clips of Pinette’s performances are very funny, and the ones from his youth illustrate his remarkable gift at mimicry. Pinette himself thought that he had inherited genes that predisposed him to addiction, but he was clearly also born with immense talent.
Cinequest hosts the world premiere of John Pinette: You Go Now. It’s only the second time in Cinequest’s 30-year history that an open submission has been selected as the festival’s opening night film.
So glad to see a tribute for this unforgettable talented and seemingly kind man. Please let us fans know how we can watch this documentary.
Alas, JOHN PINETTE: YOU GO NOW doesn’t appear to have a distributor, even after opening Cinequest. You can keep checking JustWatch.com to see if it becomes streamable. It’s also being called JOHN PINETTE: I GO NOW.
Cheers,
Scott
