KUSO
A Film By Steve (aka Flying Lotus)

Coming To Theaters in Los Angeles & on SHUDDER Nationwide July 21st
 *Sundance 2017 - Official Selection*

"It’s a film worthy of engagement; just don’t say that we didn’t warn you." - CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND

"If you came for the blood, sweat, tears, semen, and amniotic fluid, then Flying Lotus will give you your money’s worth...that would make Matthew Barney cringe." - THE FILM STAGE

Broadcasting through a makeshift network of discarded televisions, KUSO depicts the aftermath of Los Angeles's worst earthquake nightmare.  Viewers travel between screens and aftershocks into the twisted lives of the survived, experiencing a hallucination that is half-Cronenberg, half-Ren & Stimpy.

The debut film from acclaimed producer and rapper Flying Lotus, KUSO is a blistering, fever dream of filmmaking that uses music, special effects and animation to take a unique look at the dark history of America. 

 

KUSO marks the feature directorial debut from Steve, the filmmaking alter-ego of Steve Ellison, better known as music producer, DJ and rapper Flying Lotus.  Ellison's name has become synonymous with creative innovation, having released five seminal studio albums, a slew of audio-visual marvels and, in the process, gaining two Grammy nominations including one for his work on Kendrick Lamar's "To Pimp A Butterfly".

Produced by Eddie Alcazar, and featuring Hannibal Buress (NEIGHBORS, Broad City), Anders Holm (Workaholics, The Mindy Project), Tim Heidecker (Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Eastbound and Down), and iconic Funk musician George Clinton, the film also includes an original score and musical collaborations with Aphex Twin and Akira Yamaoka.
