DerailRoaded - Inside the Mind of Wild Man Fischer - very limited screenings
Just caught this new documentary tonight at the Dallas Video Festival, and it was a real treat. Highly recommended for fans of the weird.
This is an intimate, often funny, often uncomfortable film about unconventional vocalist Larry Wild Man Fischer. Original interviews with Mark Mothersbaugh (of Devo), Frank Zappa's wife Gail, Barnes and Barnes ('Fishheads'), radio's Dr. Demento, and Fischer himself among others offer great insight into Fischer's erratic history. Various Fischer family members show up throughout as well. Archival footage abounds of Fischer, Frank Zappa, Weird Al Yankovic, and Barnes and Barnes.
Go to Rhino Records, erm, I mean, go to derailroaded.com for info on the film. Screening list follows, which is unfortunately very small. However, I did speak with the video festival director after the show and he told me that it would definitely be coming to dvd.
