Head Trip
A documentary film by John Law and Flecher Fleudujon
"An insane roller coaster of a ride during the opening salvos of the
Iraq war. See a bus-load of San Francisco characters careen across
our nation on a quixotic journey to The Big Apple. They drop in on
noteworthy American monuments and oddball artists along the way with
their own "roadside attraction, three giant Dog Heads in tow! A good
will trip like no other I've seen, at a time most needed."
-Louis Castaigne

Head Trip
85 minutes
A documentary film by John Law and Flecher Fleudujon

This film chronicles the journey of the Bay Area's iconic "Doggie
Diner Heads" www.doggiediner.com on a singular cross-country trek to
New York City.

Just as the bombs started falling on Baghdad in early 2003, some of
San Francisco most eccentric performers and whimsical characters
(Bishop Joey/Ed Holmes, Steven Raspa, Blake More, Jarico Reese, etc.)
set out for New York City accompanied by three ten foot tall, three
hundred pound fiberglas Dachshund Heads. Careening across America,
the crew visits the Grand Canyon, Graceland, the Gateway Arch, Mt.
Rushmore, the Washington Monument and many other celebrated roadside
attractions along the way. Hauled in tow behind the SF Cyclecide Bike
Rodeo's www.cyclecide.com 1966 Gillig Autobus, the Doggies encounter
the spirit of America during a confusing period. Roadside encounters
with citizens and rendezvous with eccentric artist comrades through
out the "Middle" States are the heart of this journey.

Head Trip is narrated by KPFA radio personality, cartoonist, erudite
master of ceremonies, high priest of the Church of the SubGenius and
national treasure Hal (Dr. Howlin Owl) Robins. www.askdrhal.com/

Interview subjects include: cartoonist Bill Griffith (Zippy the
Pinhead), Ron Turner (Last Gasp Comix), Harold Bachman (designer of
the Doggie motif in the 1950's) Cyclecide impresario Jarico Reese,
and tough guy screenwriter & novelist Floyd Salas.
