Perhaps the most magical time of our lives– pre Columbine, pre 9/11, pre Sandy Hook, pre Tommy Wiseau. An indie culture wonder with a legacy that lasts to this day. “Gummo” revisited. With love.

Bunny boy is the center of the opening of the feature “Gummo” by filmmaker Harmony Korine. An original parody, Bunny boy returns 24 years later to perform his ritual on a bridge over a highway; an expose of being in the present. In hindsight of purpose and the artistic performance by Jacob Sewell (Bunny boy), Jason Sperry strives to materialize the compilation. At minimum, this is his constructive tribute to the tale and the impact it left behind.
