CEASE TO EXIST - (Charles Manson/Beach Boys music documentary, 2008.)

"Cease To Exist" explores Charles Manson's musical aspirations and his relationship with The Beach Boys' drummer Dennis Wilson.

Written and Directed by Ryan Oksenberg

This was made for a documentary film class at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2007. The entire film is compromised of unlicensed, unearthed footage I collected from everywhere in glorious 420p (pre-HD). A few interviews are taken out of context to best tell the story since there is no visual evidence in existence of Manson and Wilson's relationship.

Running time: 85mins
