MOViES FOR MANiACS presents:

The Bay Area Theatrical Premiere of 

NUMBSKULL REVOLUTION

with filmmaker Jon Moritsugu IN PERSON!
(Hosted by Jesse Hawthorne Ficks)

The new film by underground legends Jon Moritsugu and Amy Davis is a "punk rock Blade Runner for artists." Nine years in the making, this is their most epic, fully-realized, and visionary motion picture, even witnessing the end of their marriage and 35-year creative partnership: My Degeneration (1990), Terminal USA (1993), Mod Fuck Explosion (1994), Fame Whore (1997), Scumrock (2002), Pig Death Machine (2013). 

"Amy Davis and James Duval (“Frank the Bunny” from Donnie Darko) play a pair of rival conceptual artists battling for fame and funding in the near-future dystopia of Shitville, Earth. As one ascends the heights of neoliberal capitalist success, the other seeks inspiration and solace in the euphoric waves of a new cyber drug called Skullfuck. Ingenious production design and savvy location shooting evoke the urban sprawl and rural industrial collapse against which the filmmakers frame this scathing satire of art world pretension." -Paul Malcolm Senior Public Programmer UCLA Film & Television Archive/Hammer Museum

Shot over 16 days in 2017 in Santa Fe, NM & Marfa, TX, NUMBSKULL REVOLUTION (2026) is ostensibly a riff on the absurdity of art, warfare of people and sexes, material control/secular terror, addictions of every genre, and self-actualization thru internal Jungian conflict, this movie - at its most base level - is a full-on and mega-entertaining cinematic odyssey tinged with ludicrous sci-fi, raw poignancy, and utter brutalism. Soundtrack by Plack Blague, Crime, Carlo Anthony, Sex Headaches, Meri St. Mary, Nunu & Low on Fire. **Don't miss a gaggle of giveaways with Jon Moritsugu who will give a post-film Q&A for this ultimate final goodbye... a “thank you, dear” for all the good times.

Running time: 96 minutes. Unrated.
