The Dirk Diggler Story (1988)

A mockumentary short film written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson at age seventeen. Presented as a behind-the-scenes television profile, it chronicles the rise and fall of Dirk Diggler, a well-endowed porn star whose fame and fortune spiral into drug abuse and tragedy. Modeled on real-life adult film actor John Holmes, the film serves as an early prototype for Anderson's later feature Boogie Nights (1997).

It's better than the Marky Mark version.

I was so happy to see this short...PTA was 17 when he made...he might be my favorite living director and watching this was a pleasure.

Mostly fascinating just to see Robert Ridgely (who later played The Colonel in Boogie Nights) in the Jack Horner role. Also, I wish Boogie Nights had retained the part of the story where Dirk is discovered at a falafel stand. Other than "I'm your brother... from another mother," it's possibly the most inadvertently funny P.T. Anderson moment ever.

A very interesting look at PT Anderson's early filmmaking days. Only for true PT Anderson fans though.

Not to judge the film too harshly, as this is the first work of Paul Thomas Anderson before he had access to the tools he does today. It's a great piece of nostalgia for Boogie Nights and generally PT Anderson fans.
