Synopsis
A portrait of Memphis-based punk musician Jay Reatard, who toured the world and released dozens of records over the course of a 15 year career that began in his mid-teens. Never-before-seen footage documents his self-made journey to iconic garage rock star, with colleagues, friends, and family speaking about Jay’s vibrant and complicated life. Jay himself—filmed just nine months before his untimely death at the age of twenty-nine—shares his experiences both on and off stage, with all the humor, savvy, and pathos one can expect from such a prolific and vital artist.
