Original trailer for Soda Jerk’s first feature film Hollywood Burn (2006).
Part trash cinema and part remix manifesto, Hollywood Burn is an anti-copyright epic constructed entirely from hundreds of samples pirated from the Hollywood archive. It pits a righteous league of video pirates against the evil tyrant Moses and his Copyright Commandments. Determined to alter the present by changing the past, the pirates travel back to 1955 to construct the ultimate weapon: an Elvis Presley video-clone. The unwitting all-star cast also includes Charlton Heston, Jack Sparrow, Monkey Magic, Bette Davis, Batman, Jaws, Jesus, the Hulk, the Hoff and the Ghostbusters.
Completed over 4 years in collaboration with artist Sam Smith, Hollywood Burn is freely available to watch, clone, remix, sample, share and screen.
