About This Movie

Jackelope is a fascinating glimpse into the Texas art scene of the mid-'70s, woven together by Ken Harrison's unique directorial vision. The documentary is divided into three segments, each devoted to a different artist: James Surls, George Green, and Bob Wade. You can really sense the raw energy of the time, as these young creators share their visions, quirks, and struggles. The pacing is relaxed, allowing viewers to soak in the atmosphere, and the practical effects of their art pieces are impressive for the era. It's not just about their art, but their personalities and the environment they're in—how they interact with the culture around them. It’s a real snapshot of an artistic moment that feels oddly timeless yet distinctly '70s.
