HALF-COCKED, USA 1995, Directed by Suki Hawley and Michael Galinsky with Tara Jane O'neil, Jon Cook, Jason Noble, Ian Svenonious, Jeff Mueller, The Grifters, Sean Meadows, John Moses, and Cynthia Nelson, 75 Min

Tara Jane O'Neil is growing weary of her life at the Rocket House, a party pad filled with crashing slackers, artists, and rock bands. She works as a ticket taker at a movie theater and hangs out with a group of friends who are equally aimless. Her brother, Otis (Ian Svenonius) the arrogant lead singer of a local rock group called the Guilloteens (played by other members of Svenonius band, The Make-Up) smacks Tara in the face after a show for fucking up his encore. Humiliated, Tara convinces her pals to hijack the Guilloteens van (still full of equipment) and form a band in order to stay out on the road. The film is a hybrid documentary; all of the characters are playing some version of themselves in order to document the underground music scene of the early 90's.
