A Skin Too Few: The Days of Nick Drake



Curated by : Henry S. Rosenthal

A Skin too Few: The Days of Nick Drake
Nick Drake was an undisputed musical genius. His three albums Five Leaves Left, Bryter Later and Pink Moon contain a unique beauty which no other musician to this date has succeeded in copying. Although his work was not very successful while he was alive, today, more than thirty years after his passing, he is more "in" than ever. His songs are used in big movie productions; other musicians cover him; and his talent is frequently celebrated in festivals, books, commercials and on the Internet, etc. This beautiful featurette (50min) hauntingly explores his brief time on earth, his family, friends and musical legacy.

Plays With:
Marilyn Manson Unreleased videos! Anti-Christ Super Star
and Cryptorchid both directed by E. Elias Merhige(Begotten) and produced by Henry S. Rosenthal who will speak to their behalf and treat us to never before seen
behind the scenes footage from the making of these two fine examples of damaged 16mm filmaking. Cameo by Texas Terri as the angel.

Also:
Several more music videos that range from Iggy (live 1970) to IZ (hawaiian songster) and a special Michael Jackson: In his own defense pre-viral video.
