My favorite movie of all time is an obscure short film titled GT EPK. You can see this spectacular work on YouTube, and you absolutely should. The "GT" in the title stands for Geoff Tate; he's the former singer of a band called Queensrÿche, a Seattle-area metal band whose 1983 debut EP is pretty great, but who are better known for 1988's muddled concept album Operation: Mindcrimeand and 1990's gloppy ballad "Silent Lucidity." And the "EPK" is presumably "electronic press kit"—the short video, if I had to guess, looks like Tate's audition reel for a reality show. Despite the brief six-minute runtime (two and a half of which are slow-crawling text of Tate's numerous accomplishments), it provides a thoroughly illuminating glimpse into the man himself. Bedecked in an array of revealing tank tops and badass sunglasses, our bald-domed hero tells us he's a "singer," a "songwriter," a "traveler," and an "experience junkie" whose "passion for living borders on extreme." We watch him ride his motorcycle; we see him perform onstage with Queensrÿche; we bear witness to Tate's undeniable badassery. Also, he has his own brand of wine—it's called Insania, which, I'm pretty sure, is the Latin word for "insane." Tate's not in Queensrÿche anymore, but he'll be playing their songs tonight. In the meantime, GT EPK is a piece of cinema for the ages, a character study of warmth, depth, and humor. Please watch it immediately. by Ned Lannamann
