“There’s no stability. But I’m going to keep doing it ’till I drop.” Dark Star Pictures has unveiled the official trailer for Art Dealers, a kooky and crazy documentary film from filmmakers Roy Power & Adam Weiner. Available to watch in select theaters this fall before it’s on VOD. The rapturous, sweaty live experience of Philly rock band Low Cut Connie-fronted by charismatic leader Adam Weiner-is celebrated in all its beer-soaked, piano slamming glory in this rousing documentary. The description says this is in “the tradition of art-world documentaries like Stop Making Sense and American Movie.” This doc is a unique hybrid-genre concert film starring the rock n’ roll performance artist Low Cut Connie, depicting a stunning 3-show run in New York City in 2022. The concert is set against 5 years of doc footage that explores the struggles, frustrations, and humor of living a working class “art life” in modern America. Made for rock fans to enjoy.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Roy Power & Adam Weiner’s doc Art Dealers, from YouTube:
In the tradition of art-world documentaries like Stop Making Sense and American Movie, Art Dealers follows eccentric rock-n-roll artist Adam Weiner aka Low Cut Connie, and his band as they attempt to mount a concert production of their recently released album “Art Dealers” for a three-night run in NYC. The stunning high-intensity performances are laid against a backdrop of five years of footage that shows an artist plagued by bad luck, but who attacks each performance with humor and stagecraft. Art Dealers is co-directed by filmmakers Roy Power & Adam Weiner (aka Low Cut Connie), both making their feature directorial debut with this film. Produced by Animus Studios. Edited by Paul Raposo. This initially premiered at the 2023 Philadelphia Film Festival last year. Dark Star Pictures will debut Art Dealers first in select US theaters on September 6th, 2024, then on VOD starting October 1st this fall. Look any good?
