Danny Perez commissioned David Portner (Avey Tare) to write a custom jingle for a child's pizzeria, arcade, shitshow: The Funzone, to be featured in his movie, ANTIBIRTH. Something like Joe Meek on a drone. Portner's playfulness and use of vocal manipulations captured a perfect tone and duality for this off kilter and surreal advert. It's upbeat, jubilant, but sinister at the same time.
The music video is an extended version of what appears in ANTIBIRTH. Edited and animated by Perez, the video advertises a children's arcade, pizzeria and bowling alley called the Funzone. In the film, the Funzone had a former life as a seedy dive bar where local degenerates would party.
ANTIBIRTH will be released by IFC MIDNIGHT in theaters and on VOD, September 2, 2016.

i cant tell if it looks really fun or really cringey. i love cheesy horror, and i really liked oddsac, but this looks like its trying too hard or something. Whoever sees it, report back

oh hey i had a revelation on what ODDSAC means. it could be a syllabic rearrangement of "saccade" which is the little involuntary jerks yr eyes do
i can't remember if oddsac was confirmed to be or not be an acronym though

"According to the band, the film's name is both a pleasant combination of letters and the name for a bag of gummy candies."

You're allowed to not like it but if you need to share your special opinion then provide some evidence or a critique.
I solidly hate you but I'm not going to say anything more because I'm not going to actually provide something worthy of contributing to this discussion.

Whats the big deal? No one cares when someone posts 'X release by Y artist is awesome!' but never elaborates. I understand this is an AC site and ppl dont care to see negativity towards their musical heroes. But id wager everyone on this forum loves AC deep down and theres mothing wrong with not blindly adoring anything AC is a part of, directly or indirectly. Besides, this is mainly danny's thing. So calm down dude.

the gruesome body horror present in Danny Perez's new film "antibirth" is nothing compared to the brutally shit posts itt
