From international cult magazine VICE, comes their first feature, the tale of Jesco "the dancing outlaw" White - part angel, part devil, part Elvis.
synopsis
jesco white's drugs of choice are gasoline and lighter fluid, plus the high he gets from performing the wild mountain dancing steps taught him by his daddy. but it's reform school and a lunatic asylum that teach jesco how to fight, and fight he does. redneck exploitation is gorgeously reinvented as jesco explodes from one burst of trailer trashing rage to the next. dingy trailers, guns and moonshine - the trademarks of west virginia life - are celebrated, alongside a psychobilly soundtrack, as savage exotica in this brutal and demented hillbilly saga.
