I started documenting the Butthole Surfers in 1986 at CBGB’s as a film student when I checked out a camera from NYU, and I have been collaborating with them ever since on various projects, like the short Entering Texas, the feature film Freaked, and his recent video for Paul Leary - Do You Like to Eat a Cow.
This movie, produced with the full collaboration of the band, will be the culmination of my close relationship with the Butthole Surfers - a comprehensive look at this groundbreaking band and its continuing impact on culture at large. It’s a story I'm uniquely capable of telling because of the trust the band and I have built over the years.
Through exhaustive interviews, archival footage, cutting-edge animation and graphics, surreal reenactments, and more, we will make a film in the anarchic spirit of the band. It will be irreverent and funny, but also sincere and heartfelt at times as we get these post-punk rock legends to look back on their strange and extraordinary lives.
This won’t be a hagiography. We will present the hole truth and nothing butt, warts and all: Sex, drugs, rock and roll, the beautiful, the ugly, and the weird.
