Direction
Stump's music-video economy applied to narrative—tight, rhythmic, merciless.
Writing

Director
Patrick Stump
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot during a Fall Out Boy hiatus; Stump funded it personally after studios passed on his 'weird little art film.'
Premiered at 2009 Sundance same weekend as (500) Days of Summer—two radically different portraits of mid-aughts hipsterism.
