I'm an Electric Lampshade

[Opens Oct. 27 at San Francisco film festival.] After balding, milquetoast, 60-year-old corporate accountant Doug McCorkle in New York retires after 19 years on the job in John Clayton Doyle's entertaining, upbeat, campy, touching, artistic, 96-minute quasi-documentary, he heads to the Philippines with encouragement of his supportive wife Regina, who suffers from mental illness, of 30 years to take singing and dancing lessons from drag queen dance instructor Cesar Valentino and then makes a music video and ultimately performs live on stage in an attempt to fulfill his lifelong fantasy of becoming a rock star.
