Part baseball documentary, part anti
drug film, part socio-political satire,
I’M KEITH HERNANDEZ utilizes a version of Hernandez
life as a vehicle to discuss how male identity is shaped
by TV/film, sports, advertising, and pornography. By examining
the aforementioned types of media in conjunction with Lacan’s “Mirror
Theory”, a clearer picture of masculinity emerges.
As part of this discourse, the physical attribute of the
mustache is explored as a symbol of male virility. Other
topics include the Iran/Contra Affair and the resulting “Crack
Explosion”, celebrity obsessed culture, and the subtleties
of children’s television programming.
(For those of you who
are confused about this project it was made entirely
as an artistic pursuit and not for any commercial gain. At
its core, the piece is satirical in
nature and although elements of truth exist the project
aims to excite, provoke, and entertain for the purposes
of education. It is the creators’ belief
that through the use of humor and gross inaccuracy that
a certain truth can be gained. In this case the
filmmakers have chosen Keith Hernandez as a subject in
order to make a social commentary. The filmmakers
have a great respect for Keith Hernandez as a baseball
player, announcer, and personality. It is their hope
that if you have enjoyed this site and the film that
you will donate to the Alzheimer’s Association
a charity supported by Keith Hernandez.)

An Interview with Nerve.com's
Ada Calhoun and Rob Perri:
"Rob Perri is an L.A.-dwelling twenty-eight-year-old filmmaker with some serious nostalgia for the pre-steroids baseball games he watched growing up on Long Island. He especially loved the '86 Mets, a hardscrabble gang of slutty, drug-addled young men led to victory by the Golden Glove-winning, mustachioed first baseman Keith Hernandez."

L.A. Mystery
"My colleague Jim Barrero noticed that a likeness of retired
ballplayer Keith Hernandez has popped up on a wall near the
Spring Street exit of the 101 Freeway. Why in L.A.? Hernandez
never played here. All I can think of is that the artist
was a New York Mets fan who was saddened by the team's collapse
this year and wanted to remember Hernandez and the 1986 Mets
championship team."
"Sorry, I'm not moved. I have my own problems, being
a Dodgers fan."

"Porn, Baseball and Moustache's.
Ask no more. How streetbombing promotion for the underground
cult film, I'm Keith Hernandez, got all the peeps on the
block talking."

Let me just get this out of the way
first: Rob Perri is a genius. He has combined the likes of
Being John Malcovich with 99 Tribulations to create a short,
sweet and to the point look at, when T-shirts say the man,
the legend, Keith Hernandez. Perri brings you into intimate
and close contact with what it would be like if you were
Keith Hernandez - he masterfully uses news reel, clips and
other Hernandez footage to make an obsessively wonderful
portrait of America's favorite mustached macho man, but also
uses him as a vehicle to talk about how Hernandez has shaped,
no I mean is, the 80s. Educational, humorous, thoroughly
research and well-crafted, I'm Keith Hernandez is that breath
of fresh air in documentaries that is a must-have and deserves
to placed next to your copy of High School High.

"The mainstream popularity of these
forms from Sundance to South Park doesn't invalidate the
outsider ethos of Random Lunacy: Videos From the Road Less
Traveled, a lively documentary portrait of old-school boho
Poppa Neutrino and his peripatetic brood, nor the impish
kick of I'm Keith Hernandez, a biography of the cokehead
baseball legend and one-time porn star done up VH1 style."

See, I'm Keith Hernandez, a
short film by Rob
Perri, screens tonight in the NYUFF's "Fierce
Creatures" shorts program. The film, a fast-paced, irreverent,
and very funny rundown of Keith at
his best (clutch hitting in the World Series, a legendary Seinfeld appearance,
never forsaking his power-enhancing moustache) and his worst
(drug use, porn acting, kowtowing to Ronald Reagan), is supposed
to "discuss how male identity is shaped by TV/film, sports,
advertising, and pornography."

After making it as one of the finalists
for the King Of Doc Contest presented by Tokion Magazine
and Dewars, the film was mentioned in the latest issue, along
with an image of the poster.

"Perri has
made films since he was a child and has even made music videos
in Los Angeles; but this documentary is his baby. For two
years, he and his partners have collaborated and researched
for this 19-minute documentary hoping audiences will accept
it and take away an understanding on how the media and sports
can shape young male minds.
Perri was able to breathe a sigh of relief as he sat in the
audience and heard the roar of laughter and the thunderous
applause at the end of his showing."

"The best film of the entire festival was Rob
Perri's “I’m
Keith Hernandez.” A pseudo-documentary of the baseball
legend/Just For Men spokesman, the film’s excellent
production and subtle humor kept me laughing throughout.
If you ever have the chance, check it out. It inspired me
to grow out my mustache."
