George Clinton, Anders Holm & Byron Bowers join Flying Lotus' KUSO

Brainfeeder Films has announced today that musical legend George Clinton, and comedians Byron Bowers and Anders Holm have joined the cast of acclaimed and celebrated music artist Flying Lotus' feature film debut KUSO. The film, which Flying Lotus is directing, is Brainfeeder's first feature film and will be produced by Eddie Alcazar.

The logline: Broadcasting through a makeshift network of discarded televisions, KUSO is tangled up in the aftermath of Los Angeles' worst quake nightmare. Travel between screens and between aftershocks into the twisted lives of the survived. The movie is currently shooting in Los Angeles and is casting additional roles.

Flying Lotus and filmmaker Alcazar recently partnered up to form the independent film finance and production outfit Brainfeeder Films to focus on producing traditional and nontraditional entertainment and commercial content for global audiences. The company is currently shepherding projects for filmmakers David Firth ("Salad Fingers") and Dominic Hailstone as part of their commitment to foster emerging director's creative visions.

Previously, Flying Lotus and Alcazar teamed up to produce the Sundance entry fKKYOUUU which Alcazar directed with a Flying Lotus-produced soundtrack. The film garnered praise by critics and audiences alike, and was showcased as a World Premiere at Sundance Next Fest 2015, an Official Selection at Sundance 2016, and an Official Selection AFI Fest 2015. The film will also play the upcoming BFI Fest in London.

Flying Lotus, who is also known by his birth name Steven Ellison, made his directorial debut with his own short film ROYAL, which debuted to critical acclaim at the Sundance Next Festival in Los Angeles this past August.

Recently, Flying Lotus released the album You're Dead!, an experimental insider and outsider discourse on the great lineage of jazz. In the spirit of the great Fusion collectives of the 1960s and 70s, Flying Lotus' universe of supporting cast on the album expanded to encompass incredible musicians, visual artists and personalities including Herbie Hancock, Kendrick Lamar and Snoop Dog.
