We are the Mods – Independent Film We hope makes it to Chicago

Suddenly, I am reminded of Jimmy, and I can even hear the ocean distant even more distant than the playback “Is it me for a moment…Love rein over me…..BellBoy…Bellboy…Can you see the real me…Can Ya?” But this isn’t Jimmy, nor is this The Who film Quadrophienia. This is E.E. Cassidy film, We are the Mods.

SYNOPSIS

“Sadie’s art is her photography.  Nico’s art is her life. Together they explore Britain’s 60’s mod culture of music, fashion, drugs and vintage scooters in contemporary Los Angeles. Sadie observes the world through the lens of her 35 mm camera, but everything changes when she meets Nico, the new “mod” girl who was born with Milroy’s disease that causes her to have abnormal swelling in her foot.  Nico doesn’t hide her disability, in fact she loves the spotlight. Sadie is drawn into Nico’s thrilling world of aesthetics where Sadie learns about herself and who she really is.”

I know right all I heard was Mod, Britain, 60’s, fashion, drugs, and Scooters. This sounds AWESOME!

Warning: Clip shows drug use NSFW-oC

The show is doing well on the west coast, and  E.E. Cassidy writes that they are working hard to get it to us.

What’s that…?  Not sure this is you’re kind of film?  Talk a look and listen to Sadie’s Daydream and see how quick you change your tune.

The Music, The Girls, The Scooters, E.E. Cassidy is a genius!

So I got to thinking why should Adam Savage get all the Twoops, everyone could use’em.  Please send a tweet to @musicboxtheatre requesting this film, god knows it’s as good or better than most of the Indie stuff they bring in. Not on Twitter? then hit up their web site and bug’em www.musicboxtheatre.com

Thanks E.E. Cassidy, been waiting a long time for a Mod/Scooter culture movie, now if we can just bring Ska back from the dead and hide it from the Frat boys.
