Dead Celebrity

2019 · 4 min

A flickering, dreamlike collage of images and music that washes over you like a half-remembered pop myth.

Directed by
Lewis Klahr
Genres
Animation
Overview
An associative montage with color flicker accents that riffs off the mythology of hedonistic musicians and seedy Hollywood hotels. The song is by my good friend Bryan Senti who performed under the moniker of Ex Mykah for this his pop Lp debut.—L.K.
