Thirteen

This short film is packed with awesome things I love.

1. It’s shot in beautiful, rainy Portland, OR, about the time I lived there
2. It features Elliott Smith, a singer-songwriter whose music I am quite fond of.
3. The film is by Jem Cohen, who also made films about Fugazi and the Georgia band, Smoke. I have been trying to see his film Chain for five years now, with no luck.
4. Elliott performs the Big Star song Thirteen, one of my favorites.
