"A Dirty Projectors film."06 September 2012Music20 mins
Inspired by music films like Kanye West's Runaway and Prince's Purple Rain, Hi Custodian follows the band members through a surreal narrative about spiritual death and rebirth. The film features several recordings and alternate versions of new Dirty Projectors songs, in addition to other new and unreleased music from the Swing Lo Magellan album sessions.
100 Musicians is a sensual and intimate film. It is a hazy summer night in Kensignton market. Sydney and June are in bed, in the afterglow of making love.
An old man who is a simple worker decides that he wants to buy a cell phone. He goes to buy some second hand ones but by accident the president's used cell phone is the one which he buys.
Matt, a stereotypical hetero white male, feels he has life figured out by following the status quo. This all changes when he meets Ryan and the illusion of his idyllic life begins to crumble.
Two guys, Nick and Dylan, set out to steal a gigantic diamond buried in the basement of a church. As the duo bumbles their way through their plans, they find that the people they’re trying to dupe are actually what they both need —quirky, chaotic, and imperfect, but loving and lovable… the family they’ve been looking for.
The story is set some time in the past, or maybe some time in the future. Given a time-frame, we would say somewhere between the American moonwalk, and Coca- Cola's serious ambition to turn the moon into an advertising logo.
