The Duplass Brothers explore the minutiae of relationship dynamics in this in-depth study of a group of desperate actor friends. And a bag. And a head.

While the Duplass Brothers were shooting their last feature film The Puffy Chair, a crew member raised the question “what’s the scariest thing you can think of?” Someone immediately said “a guy with a bag on his head staring into your window.” Some agreed, but some thought it was downright ridiculous and, if anything, funny (but definitely not scary). Thus, BAGHEAD was born, an attempt to take the absurdly low-concept idea of a “guy with a bag on his head” and make a funny, truthful, endearing film that, maybe, just maybe, was a little bit scary, too.

Their last film The Puffy Chair was screened two years ago at the Calgary Underground Film Festival and won an award for Best Feature Film.

Official Selection: SXSW 2008, Sundance Film Festival 2008, Tribeca Film Festival 2008

"Baghead is a one of a kind experience which will fill your stomach with joy, and hope for the future of indie cinema. Puffy Chair and Baghead just might be the Slacker and Clerks for the youtube generation." - Peter Sciretta - Slash Film.com
