Ian Bloom wrote Star Vehicle at age 32, three days after returning to Hollywood from Zurich, Milan, Paris, London, and New York. High fashion sharpened - Rick Owens ballistic, Helmut Lang cool, and Martin Margiela final-form - Bloom returned to America - eagle-landed and drilled to the core.
Written on impulse.
Self-greenlit.
Before the studios could name it.
Then he made the film himself.
One-man production.
Dual-role performance.
Painted title cards.
Original end-credit song.
Total authorship. Singular direction.
Star Vehicle is Bloom's debut feature film - a full-frontal monologue in motion - a minimalist cinema with maximal consequence. The dialogue is a knife fight: Glengarry Glen Ross crossed with The American Friend - hyper-aware, utterly unbothered, prophecy's gun in hand.
This is the American screenplay: commerce, culture, cinema, cosmology - collapsed into one vehicle.
Brand as destiny.
Myth as operating system.
Hollywood as a balance sheet with a soul.
Welcome to the Canon.
This is Star Vehicle.
