Hello Dankness

A film by Soda Jerk
Comprised entirely of hundreds of film samples, Hello Dankness is a political fable that bears witness to the psychotropic spectacle of American politics from 2016 to 2021, and the mythologies and lore that took root around it. Begun in 2019 and labored on throughout the pandemic, Hello Dankness is a record of the time, written from the time.

Led by Bergen O’Brien and Rob Buttery
Bring: Audio visual material to edit, computer with video editing software installed
