Otto and the Electric Eel : A short film inspired by the music of and starring Mr. Otto von Schirach.
In our ongoing quest to create new and exciting flavor combinations The Borscht Film Festival brings you "OTTO AND THE ELECTRIC EEL", a short film collaboration between Waverly Films and Otto von Schirach that is NOT a music video.
To get a rough idea of the raw and beautiful energy we are preparing to unleash on the world: you can check out the work of Waverly FIlms here http://waverlyfilms.com/ and explore the magic of Otto von Schirach at http://www.ottovonschirach.com/
In order to visually represent the process and themes of von Schirach's music "OTTO AND THE ELECTRIC EEL" will employ the metaphor of fine cooking, and a panoply of unlikely props including a spontaneously extant flying eel.
The Borscht Film Festival wants to make YOU a part of non-music video history.
