Coming to VOD today, Tuesday, October 13: DEMON ON WHEELS
Christina Eliopoulos’ chronicle of a man’s mission to restore his 1968 Mustang debuted this past June at the popular Carlisle Ford Nationals auto show. It now comes to iTunes.
I previously wrote about the doc while it was in production here. Eliopoulos’ end result captures Mike Ondish’s rakish charm well, while also re-positioning his obsession with recapturing his wild youth into an unexpected love triangle between his life partner, Martha; his car, the Demon; and himself. While gearheads and Mustang fanatics will have much to enjoy here, Martha serves as a welcome human balance, emerging as a sympathetic point of identification for viewers who may not share Ondish’s single-minded auto mania.
