Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra featured in new doc "Come Worry With Us!"
Directed by Helene Klodawsky, “Come Worry With Us!” is a new documentary that focuses on how touring musicians adjust to parenthood. The film focuses on Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra co-founder Efrim Menuck, Mt. Zion-violinist Jessica Moss and their son, Ezra Steamtrain Moss Menuck.
Paired with parenthood’s affects, the film also highlights the economics of modern day musicianship. Per the official synopsis on the Come Worry With Us! website:
Against a backdrop of intense competition and rapid technological change, where corporatization of the cultural industries is challenging the very notion of freedom, and where the distinction between life and work is constantly blurred, the film follows a growing generation of globalized artists – struggling to remain “self made” in spite unprecedented economic precariousness. Like canaries in the coal mine, today’s artists are pioneers of the New Economy, where self-employment and self-promotion have replaced job security, and uncertainty becomes a way of life for all.
Come Worry With Us will be available for streaming 13 May via iTunes, with a wider digital release on 27 May. Watch the trailer below.
