An independent film shot in Detroit using almost no grid electricity. With the goal of making a feature movie spending no money, using no grid electricity, creating no garbage and on a tight three-month deadline, the film was a true experiment in radical green production. This 87-minute comedy features some of Detroit’s best actors and improvisers and a soundtrack provided by a dozen Detroit bands and electronic musicians.
Synopsis:
Bug has been performing his original, electronic music and video art at dance clubs and parties for almost a decade. But don’t call him a DJ. Feeling middle-age approaching he takes one last stab at taking his music career to the next level by signing with a new manager who has some unconventional ideas. Meanwhile the cynical and self-absorbed Bug feigns interest in the Green movement to win the love of Layla, an environmental activist who has become a fan of his music. Along the way he learns a lot about green living, has some run-ins with the law and tries to finally decide what to do with his life.
