You can expect…

Crazed man wildly staring off in the distance and singing Weezer tunes!

A guy licking scrumptious salt flats! 😋

And even: emotions!

Watch now to WEEZE with laughter!

Synopsis:

In a 3-day trip to Death Valley (and one week of editing) we made a 41-minute indie drama/comedy celebrating Weezer's legendary Blue Album for its 30th anniversary.

Three college friends confront their future after picking up an eccentric, Weezer-obsessed, hitchhiker in the middle of Death Valley.

Every song from the album is here (singles Buddy Holly and Undone play only a minor role and are the only songs out of order from the full album release), the film is the exact length of the album, and the CD plays a role in the story as well.

Anna Williams, a self-taught quilter born and raised near Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was seen as one of the twentieth century’s most significant fiber artists. The quilts she made throughout her life incorporated scraps of traditional printed cottons, unusual synthetics, and woven or decorated fabrics such as the sequined pieces seen in this work. Without employing templates or blocking, Williams created bold freehand, improvisational designs that embodies a polyrhythmic African-American aesthetic.  The visual complexity of her work, which contradicts the craft’s domestic origins, continues to influence scores of contemporary quilt artists. 

Quilt, 1995 was the first quilt by a known African American maker to enter the Brooklyn Museum collection. See it now on view in Out of Place: A Feminist Look at the Collection.
