The whirling dervish at the center of Wonsuk Chin's superb
documentary, e-dreams, is Joseph Park, CEO and co-founder of the
late, kinda great Kozmo.com. He shares some of the seven habits of highly
effective people with Kaleil Tuzman, a fellow Goldman Sachs refugee who
dominated last year's Startup.com and the
pay-parking-tickets-in-your-undies site it chronicled. But unlike the
delusionaries at govWorks.com, Park actually thought to give the people what
they wantóvideos and snacks delivered in under an hour. That the e-graveyard
holds as many good ideas as bad is the cold comfort that Chin's film serves
up with style and empathy.

"e-dreams" plays out in quite a different offscreen context than did last year's similarly themed sleeper "Startup.com." While there's surely a great deal of overlap between [the] two nonfictioners, and "e-dreams" may suffer from perception that this subject has "been done" on the arthouse circuit already, [this] thoroughly engaging pic has its own distinct virtues. Fast paced docu debut for U.S. Korean emigre Wonsuk ChinÖsports sharp HD lensing, brisk editorial rhythms and apt use of techno-club tracks. |

| "Filmmaker Wonsuk Chin manages to make the
dot-com saga captivating again, thanks in part to his charmingly
sympathetic central character, Kozmo co-founder Joseph Park, who seems as
amazed as anyone at his company's dumb luck. Park's garrulous good humor
keeps you rooting for him, even as the market falls and the company tanks.
There are plenty of priceless momentsÖ" See full

rare indie production - well worth catching if you possibly can." See full

| "[Kozmo] could be the
definitive story of the great dot-com gold rush of the '90s and this
documentary tells it well: mostly through the eyes of Kozmo's
publicity-hungry co-founder Joe Park, who appears to have had a camera
trained on him through every stage of his rise and fall." See full
