'DRUNK IN PUBLIC' is an 81 minute documentary feature film chronicling the life of Mark David Allen, a young man arrested over 400 times. This film is a gritty look at the depths of alcoholism, the futility of the system and human survival. The subject of the documentary is unflinchingly exposed. Not only is it evident that the subject of this documentary has remarkable endurance, but it also shines light on the passion exhibited by the filmmaker, who has been forced by fate to become a part of this amazing, seemingly never-ending story. The time frame in which this film unfolds covers 12 years and although this is a fully completed stand alone project, the subject matter begs for more. Those who've seen glimpses of the film are left educated and asking questions, chuckling, but most of all, deeply moved. 'DRUNK IN PUBLIC' is the follow up film to filmmaker David J. Sperling's hugely successful documentary short, 'CRIME SCENE CLEANERS' which has collected 2 Audience Awards after only screening in 5 festivals. Interestingly enough, the two films could not be more different from each other--BUT but both unveil Sperling's recipe for a successful film experience; an abundance of passion, gripping content and gritty unrelenting HONESTY.
