Vaud and the Villains

Directed by Lukas Belkind

2010 – 30'

Synopsis

Three members of an 18-piece, 1930s style, American folk big band explore their personal relationships with Los Angeles, performing, the music they love, and the band that binds them all together. Combined with various musical vignettes that showcase the talent of the entire ensemble, this film leaves us with a better understanding of how music can transform both those who create it and those who experience it.
