I’m Keith Hernandez

How have we missed this for so long?  “I’m Keith Hernandez” is a film by Rob Perri and it is, quite simply, magnificent.  Rather than fail at doing it justice, I’ll let the film’s official website tell you what you need to know:

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.

But it gets better.  I took a keen interest in the short film after reading that “as part of this discourse, the physical attribute of the mustache is explored as a symbol of male virility.”  Sign me up!

The whole film is available to watch online.  It’s embedded right into this post for your convenience.  Do yourself a favor and set aside 20 minutes of your day (preferable while you are at work) to watch it.  Seriously.  It will be the single greatest thing you do all week.

Thanks to friend o’ the stache Derrick Yuen for the heads up.

(Ed. note: The film is SFW, but there is some footage from an adult film that, while properly concealed, probably isn’t your boss’ cup of tea.)
