NO CURE FOR THAT contributors
- Davis Fleetwood
- I am the leader of many movements. Among them: THE INTERNATIONAL CALL IN SICK CAMPAIGN. IN 1997, I was the star of a one-person reality TV show that was being shot to air on MTV called THE HERMIT. Really. I was 27 years old, and I thought I was poised for.... something, I guess. The show had me locked in a studio apartment with hidden cameras all over the place. When the show got boring, the producers hired actors to pretend that they were my friends, old lovers, whatever. I kind of lost it. Couldn't tell the difference between my real life and my scripted one. The show- THE HERMIT- never aired. I went underground. For the last ten years, I have lived under an assumed name, held regular jobs, even taught high school. I passed as a regular guy. Recently, however, the NCFT folks found me and convinced me to take up the project again, on my own terms. Perhaps the MTV people will release the old tapes. In any event, thanks to NCFT, my assumed identity has been tossed off. I'm a dead man resurrected. Now, in 2007, I am, once again- THE HERMIT.
