Scenes From The Suburbs, inspired by Grammy winning band, Arcade Fire, The Suburbs, is an episodic and impressionist look of friends drifting apart set against a dystopic world where 'burbs and towns go to war against each other. Under the conceit of a man trying to piece together memories, scenes jump, rise and fall, and are all impressively performed by actors who naturally capture teenagedom, even if the narrative leaves you scratching your head.
Bandmembers (and brothers) Will Butler and Win Butler wrote the project with Jonze, who cast total unknowns in Austin. How unknown you ask? The lead girl was a drama techie who did lighting for school plays.
Scenes from the Suburbs will play at SXSW in March, then will get released on DVD in the spring. The band is also considering entering it into more festivals.
I think this is a great approach to bring new light to music videos, we could see a new trend here...
