A parody of Lifetime Television's Intimate Portrait series. A real look at the frivolous, and
marginal accomplishments of a nobody, who, by the end of the show, will
look like a somebody. A Really Intimate Portrait ... Of a complete
unknown poses the question: 'How can you be a has-been if you've never
been'?
Reviews
“Dani Alpert's A Really Intimate Portrait...of a Complete Unknown
offered herself as the subject of Lifetime's gushingly soft-focus
Intimate Portrait series, which does for women what VH-1's Behind the
Music does for rock stars... She caught the tone of the Lifetime series
dead-on, and the friends she recruited to talk about her not-so-famous
life (most of them struggling Hollywood actors themselves) were a
scream. Alpert may not be famous, but she is funny, and that's enough.” --Chris Kaltenbach, Baltimore Sun
"Comedian Dani Alpert offers a truly inspired takeoff on "Lifetime's
Intimate Portrait series", one with shades of that giant of all
mockumentaries, "Spinal Tap." Ms. Alpert's success is
portrayed as resting on a rather slim reed- mainly her experience as
director of the annual high school musical. One of her real-life
associates, comic Julia Sweeney, appears as a fawning interviewee." --
Judy Oppenheimer, The Baltimore Jewish Times
“Dani has crafted a sophisticated skewering of the cozy celebrity TV
bio, and in so doing manages to be twice as interesting and ten times
funnier than the form's typical real-life subjects. Witty, engaging, and
sweetly sharp, she's a new comic voice to reckon with.”
-Don Roos, Writer/Director, Web Therapy, The Opposite of Sex, Happy Endings

What a great idea!! I have seen these intimate portraits and think it is such a cool idea!! I had a problem installing it, but will try again!! So clever!
Thank you thank you. But it figures that I've spent literally all day trying to fix my site and load this movie. If you can't get it through blogger, go to danialpert.com
Have a great night.
Very funny and really well done! I think everyone should have one of these - parody or serious. Why does Kim Kardashian get to have a celebrated life?! Don't the other 99% deserve a glamorous media portrayal?
