A personal, accessible look at an artist - Kevin Barnes, frontman of the endlessly versatile indie pop band of Montreal - whose pursuit to make transcendent music at all costs drives him to value art over human relationships.

Curse of the Seven Jackals

Kevin Barnes

While serving as a test subject for a synthetic blood product, Bernard (Kevin Barnes) waits for each of his injections inside a suburban motel room. He develops a friendship with the helpful maid (Jill Carnes), but being a medical guinea pig gradually takes its toll on Bernard's sanity. Soon, he believes he's a mummy whose synthetic blood will grant him eternal life. Chris Jolly directs this indie horror flick shot in minimalist black-and-white.
