In My Pathetic Career, Post highlights his unique creative process, exploring life on the road, his evolving artistic work, and how his Midwestern roots and dry humor continue to shape his career. This screening offers a deep and entertaining glimpse into the life of an outlier artist, balancing the highs of performing on prestigious stages like the Kennedy Center with the personal challenges that defined his path.
The film captures the roller coaster ride of Post’s life as a solo artist, blending humor and poignancy. Through his video camera, a constant companion on the road for over three decades, Post documents his encounters with odd and endearing people across the world, and shares personal reflections on his journey—from childhood struggles and career highs to battling fear and self-doubt.
