Daniel Johnston filmt zijn jeugdliefde en obsessie Laurie Allen
This film takes advantage of the fact that Johnston has practically documented his entire life on video or audio tapes, and features many interviews with famous friends and colleagues. It shows his unbelievable cameo on an early episode of MTV’s Cutting Edge, footage of an early love interest named Laurie Allen, as well as chronicling his rise to world-wide acclaim when singer Kurt Cobain simply wore the infamous “Hi, How Are You?“ t-shirt featuring Johnston’s alien frog design.
