Adrift in the world. Two Americans get Lost in Translation.

It’s ok to be a rude fuck if no one can understand you anyways. It would be nice if Americans learned something about the immigrant experience from Lost In Translation but that’s probably too much to ask. Double Feature takes a trip back to magic time in their lives with He Died with a Felafel in His Hand. Missing out on the present. Alice recalls the most obvious thing he didn’t even think to film during The Birthday Massacre 2006 Bootleg.
