OMAR AND CEDRIC: IF THIS EVER GETS WEIRD

OMAR AND CEDRIC: IF THIS EVER GETS WEIRD Play Button

Before Omar Rodríguez-López ever picked up a guitar, his video camera was his creative outlet. However, his teenage dreams of being a film director in El Paso took a back seat when Rodriguez- López met Cedric Bixler-Zavala, the vocalist of the soon-to-be-iconic act: At the Drive-In. Exclusively pulling from more than 40 hours of unflinching self-shot footage, noted music documentarian Nicolas Jack Davies captures the immigrant ousiders’ intense and profound journey of brotherhood, love, fame, betrayal, and sacrifice.

The film, executive produced by Jesse Eisenberg follows the often-rocky history of the friends’ lives and careers, including addiction, loss, the demise of At the Drive-In, the birth of their new band The Mars Volta, and a tumultuous stint with the Church of Scientology.
