DETAILED SYNOPSIS:
The Treasures of Long Gone John is a feature-length documentary that
chronicles the eccentric art and musical obsessions of indie record producer
Long Gone John.
The product of a troubled childhood, Long Gone John found success through
the establishment of the record label, Sympathy for the Record Industry.
During the past seventeen years, he has single-handedly released over 750
records without ever signing a contract and has helped launch the careers of
the White Stripes, Hole, The Dwarves and Rocket from the Crypt. Along the
way, he compulsively amassed a vast collection of art and pop ephemera, in
addition to starting the Necessaries Toy Foundation.
The Treasures of Long Gone John profi les the work of four artists in John’s
immense collection of art, music and oddities: Todd Schorr, Mark Ryden,
Camille Rose Garcia and Robert Williams. The film reveals the private world of
each artist and their creative process while simultaneously weaving in the
execution of a 6 by 8 foot painting of John by Todd Schorr - captured over a
ten-month period.
The scope of the film broadens to expose the expanding popularity of the
Lowbrow art movement and its bible, Juxtapoz magazine. Through a vast Juxtapoz
assortment of interviews with artists, collectors, gallery owners and musicians,
The Treasures of Long Gone John is an exciting trip through the fascinating
world of art, music and popular culture once revered as fringe and now
embraced by the mainstream.
The Treasures of Long Gone John features a wall-to-wall soundtrack of over
forty original songs from the Sympathy catalogue, never-before-seen animated
footage of featured artist’s paintings, state-of-the-art visual effects and time
lapse photography.
The Treasures of Long Gone John is a positive inspirational testament to
individualized creativity and an uncompromising look into a groundbreaking
segment of American culture in the twenty-first century.
