Somewhere out in the boondocks of the Far West, Roselyn Hill Town fhas long borne the brunt of an overbearing and coercive sheriff out to protect a two-bit mayor. Its residents open up about their toilsome day-to-day to the tune of gritty-sounding guitars and horns, as well as of vim- and whim-clad texts, offering both bedlam-embedded comic relief and mordant repartee.
Behind its burlesque and entertaining front is a film whose intentions for satire and devil’s advocacy are anything but obscure. This "Groland"- or even "South Park"-bottle-fed generation of authors invites us to look at the bigger picture of our society and how it is run by shedding the spotlight on what seems to be a little theater with little in common with our reality… and yet, Welcome to Roselyn Hill Town!
Music by Apes O’Clock, Betablock, Monty Picon and Ourdia.
