Dan Cleveland Rockumentaries

"Driver 23" and its follow-up "The Atlas Moth" document seven years in the life of Dan Cleveland, a Minneapolis-based rock guitarist/deliveryman and his band, Dark Horse. In spite of – or because of – a complex obsessive compulsive disorder, Dan is driven by an existential need to simply accomplish. An intense optimist, he meets all obstacles to his musical ambitions with uncanny determination, amazing perseverance, and strange inventions which visualize frustrations and make tangible the workings of his mind.
