"Batman beat the hell out of me / And knocked me to the floor / I got back up and knocked him to the floor/ He was bein' such a jackoff."
- from Wesley Willis' "I Whupped Batman's Ass."
A portrait of the self proclaimed rock 'n' roll star and "Chicago City Artist" Wesley Willis. Despite impossible odds, Chicago native Wesley Willis became an underground rock icon, revered artist and hero to many before his untimely death in 2003. Through his force of personality and artistic talents, Wesley's music and art attracted people from all walks of life. This excellent film, constructed from many years of interviews and candid footage, follows the prolific artist on his journey from obscurity to fame. It was one of our favorite films at SXSW this year and we can't wait to see it again.
Kid Policy: 18 and up; Children 6 and up will be allowed only with a parent or guardian. No children under the age of 6 will be allowed.
