“A NEON FAIRY TALE BEYOND IMAGINATION!”
Flung to far corners of the nation by a dark and lonely entity, sisters Ingrid and Sydney find themselves forgetting. Forgetting their family, themselves, and their own power locked inside! As the two girls race against the odds to reunite, they are targeted and hunted down by sinister cosmic forces that will stop at nothing to see them destroyed. Can our heroes find peace in a world that wants them gone?
Quickly after its spring premiere at The Museum of the Moving Image, Dylan Mars Greenberg’s punk as fuck genre-busting horrorurreal kung-fantasy phantasmagoria known as SPIRIT RISER began taking the country by storm. This fall, the storm comes to us… GOD help us all. Join us as we Protect The S on November 15th at 7:30 PM for an extradimensional Q&A with director Dylan Mars Greenberg. Hosted by Philip Ginley!
Starring a wall-to-wall-who’s-who cast of cherished and unconventional art, music and film fixtures including: actress Lynn Lowry, sisters Kansas and Parker Love Bowling, musicians Cherie Currie and Dorian Electra – as well as appearances from directors Lloyd Kaufman, Ryan Trecartin, and Trent Harris. Narrated by Mr. Blonde himself Michael Madsen and featuring trans icon and writer Kate Bornstein as GOD.
