Inspired by Francis Coppola’s concept of Live Cinema, Brother Verses Brother is a radically personal musical odyssey.
Combative twin musicians hunt for their dying poet father – in an improvisation performed by the director’s own family – in a single unbroken shot through the streets of San Francisco. One brother seeks love and excitement, while the other seeks to disappear into his music. As night falls and their father remains missing, their frantic safari leads them from the secret haunts of the Beat Poets into the heart of their family. Their tale becomes a testament to the power of music, brotherhood, and the lifeblood of a city. World Premiere at SXSW 2025.
