Description

LET'S SHRED OUR WAY TO HELL!

 

The Greek myth is reimagined as a post-apocalyptic skateboard rock opera in the fourth entry of our Summer in the City film series, SHREDDER ORPHEUS -- a low-budget hallucination that drops somewhere between the music video for Devo's "Whip It," a Bones Brigade skate tape, and a surrealist art project. The story follows Orpheus (played by writer/director Robert McGinley), a rock star who descends into hell in order to save his kidnapped wife (and the universe) from Satan and his hypnotic TV signals.

 

The screening on Saturday, August 26th will be followed by a live, in-person Q&A with Robert McGinley!
