Genre: Short, Music

Cast: Anders Erickson

I'm not really sure if DUMB ANGEL belongs on IMDb as it's more of a bizarre music video than anything else. Sure, there are some unusual shots (particularly in the second half of this film) but not enough to make it seem like a film. There is no plot, no nothing--just some blurry teenager slapping away at the drums for what seems like an eternity. I suppose he's good, but it didn't do anything for me. Why the people from Film Movement chose this as one of their shorts for DVD and on-demand release is beyond me, as id doesn't at all seem to fit their style of film and it's rather flat. Perhaps of interest to some music fans, but that is probably it.

The music genre features stories showcasing musical performances, music-related documentaries and recordings of live concerts and music festivals.

The short form refers to creative works characterized by their brevity and concise storytelling. Unlike full-length feature films, short films have a running time of less than 45 minutes, while TV shorts have a running time of less than 22 minutes.

Inspired by fragments of Gus Van Sant's LAST DAYS, DUMB ANGEL features 17 year-old preternaturally talented rock drummer Anders Erickson, the undisputed incarnation of the Who's Keith Moon. Equal parts short film, improvised performance, documentary, music video, experimental film and audio composition, DUMB ANGEL presents an odd examination of fame, talent and television celebrity.
