Synopsis
At 30, Patrick O'Brien was TransFatty, a New York City DJ, internet personality and filmmaker. He spent his days as a beer-drinking creative force, making art films about perverts, vulnerable souls and Howard Johnson's restaurants. Then he contracted ALS and was given 2 to 5 years to live. With the support of his bewildered friends and family, Patrick faced the unthinkable and turned his camera onto himself. As the director and star of his own documentary, he films every step of his debilitating journey from first diagnosis through his current paralysis. Without self-pity, he captures the emotion, humor and absurdity of life as he makes art, gets political, falls in love, fathers a son and fights extreme depression and paranoia.
