Overview
NO BAD TAKES is a raw, offbeat documentary nearly a decade in the making, following the longest—and possibly last—literary journey of legendary cult writer William T. Vollmann. Capturing both the mind of the artist and a fractured portrait of America, the film is a meditation on impermanence, friendship, and the possibilities of the creative process when one is open to the world.
