A short film that blurs the line between documentary and music video. Crime Cutz profiles four amateur performers from New York City, inviting them to interpret a track from Holy Ghost!’s Crime Cutz EP in their own unique style. Using these performances as the foundation of their section, each character is showcased as both subject & collaborator.

“AMERICAN MOVIE is an example of documentary filmmaking that proves real people can be more compelling and hilarious than anything you could write.”
