Plot

A "micro-budgeted indie", From the Head was touted as the directorial debut of a “veteran strip club bathroom attendant” (Griffith).[3] The movie portrays portraits of the men and women who populate a strip club and their effect on the resident bathroom attendant's psyche.

Reception

In his 2018 autobiography, Room To Dream, director David Lynch called it a "beautiful" work and said: "George made a film called From The Head...and when I saw it I knew he'd be a great Ray Monroe" (in Twin Peaks).[4]

The Hollywood Reporter said it was "far more interesting than a film set entirely in a bathroom has a right to be."[5] Shockya gave it an overall B− rating, calling it "a movie of considerable if to-scale surprises."[3]
