David Farrier’s been on the cutting edge of bizarre documentaries for years. He’s made a name for himself telling off-beat stories as a journalist, and his directorial debut, Tickled, is what got me seriously interested in documentary filmmaking back in high school, going beyond the kinds of straightforward storytelling I’d seen in educational videos at school and peeling back the most bizarre layers of society. He unearths the strangest parts of our world, honing in on hyper-specific topics to tell tales of greed, narcissism, and the truly bizarre, with a knack for narration and featuring himself in his stories that make things all the more compelling — and in some cases, terrifying.
