Better Than Something - JAY REATARD - Trailer

FILM SYNOPSIS:

BETTER THAN SOMETHING is a feature documentary about the controversial and prolific garage rock icon Jimmy Lee Lindsey Jr, better known to the world as Jay Reatard. This intimate portrait, captured just months before his untimely passing, brings us incredibly close to Jay's complicated punk-rock world in Memphis, Tennessee. BETTER THAN SOMETHING eloquently interweaves cinéma vérité, interviews, and archival concert performances, and features scenes from an insightful and candid week spent with Jay, who reveals personal childhood stories and the struggles of life in Memphis.

2011, USA, 89 MIN, Feature Documentary.
Directed, Shot & Edited by Alex Hammond & Ian Markiewicz.

Cool, The Alamo Drafthouse in ATX is showing it. One cool place. Stuck at home tonight. Watching the grand kids while my daughter went to Alabama. Her alma mater plays the Crimson Tide tomorrow. Mega surfing GPH. It's super addictive.
