Waiting in line outside a New York City club is a humbling, often humiliating experience. You certainly didn't wear your Louboutins for nothing. Trevor W., a fictitious doorman at an exclusive New York club said it best: "The doorman is God really at the door." Wayne Price's mockumentary, The Doorman, follows Trevor -- a self-absorbed, late-twentysomething metrosexual -- played by Argentinean actor Lucas Akoskin. Trevor avoids cultural identification by refusing to name where he's from. Spying a camera crew, Trevor is only too happy to invite them backstage at New York's Fashion Week to capture him double-kiss designers and play with models' hair. In a limo, Trevor tells the camera, "You don't have to be big. You can be small. All you need is people to think you're big. You just need connections. The only connection you need is me." And the movie pretty much goes on like that.
