March 23, 1987: profoundly hungover, down, and most definitely out in a seedy Skid Row SRO apartment is no way to see the biggest band in the world perform

Gutter philosophy from the underbelly of Los Angeles cuts its own grooves into the b-side of music history in YOU TOO, a narrative short from Director GRANT JAMES.

Adapted from DAN JOHNSON’s short fiction collection, BREA or TAR: 39 Stories of Lonely Men Oozing Out Like Pitch from the Main Vein of Forgotten Los Angeles, James’ feverish meditation on life in the seams of the City of Angels uses lucid 16mm film to capture the textures of 7th and Main in Downtown Los Angeles on the average day in 1987 when rock superstars set up shop above a liquor store.

Sweat-stained bedsheets and cracked wallpaper lurk behind razor-sharp performances from CRAIG STARK and KEITH JEFFERSON grapple with one another in a story that showers audiences in a seething glory.

Producer LINDHA NARVAEZ and Cinematographer VANCE BURBERRY leverage their talents and long experience bridging the gap between music and cinematic narrative in a film that wonders what its like to be on the outside of pop culture looking in.
