From the Head is a 2011 American drama film written and directed by George Griffith. The film stars Griffith, Matthew Lillard, Jeffrey Doornbos and Samantha Lemole in the lead roles. [2]
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.
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]
