NOISY PEOPLE is a feature length video documentary that opens a
window into a tightly-knit group of unusual sound artists and musicians
from the San Francisco improvisational music community.
Filmmaker Tim Perkis, himself a well-respected player in the Bay Area
experimental music scene, followed his subjects for a year, filming them
in their homes and studios, and at their rehearsals, performances and
“day jobs”. What emerges is a set of funny and lively portraits of some
very creative and quirky people -- and a portrait of a way of life
outside the commercial musical mainstream of America.
Made by an insider in this scene of outsiders, Noisy People beautifully captures
one of the most vibrant and unusual music communities in America.
Through his series of affectionate portraits, Tim Perkis illuminates the
glimmers and glitches of true invention. This film belongs in the canon of
brilliant movies about artistic innovation.
Funny, profound, and deeply inspiring.
