🏇 It Catches Up To You: An Ode to the Western Myth
🎬 Written, edited, produced and narrated by Scott Day
Scott Day talks his love for the video game 'Red Dead Redemption' and its roots in the Western myth, a genre of pop culture that has slowly faded into obscurity over the past sixty to seventy years in his first video essay for Farrago. Watch here (with closed captions available)!
⏰Fri 15 Sept, 6pm📍Rooftop Bar, The Clyde Hotel✨Imagine a shattered mirror and reflections of your face staring back at you over and over within each miniscule shard. What would you find if you walked through the looking glass into another time? Another place? Why are all the plastic googly eyes you spilt over your bedroom floor following your every move? What was your parallel self doing on April 29th? Somewhere, a supernova erupts in an explosion of glitter and gore. A butterfly flaps its wings. Someone pulls themselves up by their own bootstraps. Things start to get weird. The entire universe and beyond is your disco ball of scintillating possibility.🪩Welcome to Edition 4 of Farrago, 🌟MULTIVERSE🪐.
