TWERK

About This Movie

TWERK is this interesting little gem from 2012 that dives into the creative world of Mela Murder and Robot MoonJuice, both members of the band Prom Queen. It’s a documentary, sure, but it feels more like a visual poem, weaving through their artistic process with a laid-back vibe. The pacing is quite contemplative, allowing you to really soak in the atmosphere they create. There’s a rawness in the performances that’s refreshing, capturing their unique energy without glossing over the nuances of their art. Not many documentaries capture this subculture’s essence so authentically, making it stand out in my collection as a snapshot of a specific moment in indie music and performance art.

TWERK is somewhat of a rarity, not widely circulated in the usual collector circles, which adds to its appeal. It's been released on limited formats, with the DVD being the most accessible option for those interested. The film’s unique subject matter and off-beat style attract collectors who appreciate indie music documentaries and the fringe art scenes they often depict.
