Andrei Codrescu

When twenty-six-year-olds Shainee Gabel and Kristin Hahn quit their Hollywood jobs, packed up a borrowed car and hit the road, it was with the deeply felt conviction that somewhere, shrouded in the din of talk shows and tabloid headlines, they'd discover the real America, alive and well in all of its regions and demographics.

FISH HAVE NO PSYCHIATRISTS: A DAY WITH ANDREI CODRESCU is a creative documentary collage hosted by Julian Semilian centering around the life and times of poet, novelist, NPR commentator and current Pushcart Prize award winner, Andrei Codrescu. From Dada to quadrupedalism, Andrei and others offer us odes to personal experiences and free-wheeling perspectives outwitting easy category, a playful paean countering totalitarianisms and other forms of functional fixedness.

Andrei Cordescu, NPR journalist, Romanian immigrant, naturalized American citizen, and newly-licensed driver, sets out on a cross- country road trip. He travels from-sea-to-shining-sea in a red 1968 Cadillac ragtop, exploring the meaning of freedom to a variety of Americans in this gently comic, yet poignant, documentary. Highlights include stops in New York, Camden, Detroit, Chicago, Taos, Arizona, Las Vegas, and San Francisco.
