WordPressMaggots and Men
still from Maggots and Men
For about a year now I’ve been working on a score for the gorgeous independent film Maggots and Men, written and directed by Oakie Treadwell. The music is written for piano, harp, oboe, bass, and percussion, and will be recorded in the next few months. Here you can view a trailer for the film with music I wrote and performed on piano, guitar, and percussion.
From the Maggots and Men website:
In the style of a Soviet Propaganda film, Maggots and Men recounts the tragic events of the Kronstadt Uprising (Russia, 1921). This history is combined with fictionalized interpersonal relationships between the sailors. There is a strong emphasis on the filmmaking process to be a positive, affirming experience and an opportunity for people in the trans community to meet each other and work together.
For the group scenes we will be recruiting large numbers of people, documenting as many trans folks on film as possible. Maggots and Men is set in an all male environment of a Russian Naval Base then cast with actors from a range of masculine gender expressions thus redefining male, challenging the binary gender construct, and intentionally creating confusion.
This film comes out of an ongoing dialogue surrounding the hierarchy of “maleness” that exists and the longing for our genders to be inconsequential to our acceptance. We will bring these dialogues into the filmmaking process and together produce a film that makes a strong anti-war statement with the actors representing themselves as sexy, politicized, and beautiful heroes defending themselves against a corrupt government.
