Over the course of 20-plus years, Omar Rodríguez-López shot 100s of hours worth of footage documenting his time in At the Drive-In and The Mars Volta, the bands he formed with Cedric Bixler-Zavala. Just some of that material will now be revealed with the upcoming documentary Omar and Cedric: If This Ever Gets Weird, which has just received its first trailer.
The teaser splices together a bunch of grainy video clips, seemingly collapsing the entire history of Rodríguez-López and Bixler-Zavala’s partnership in just over one minute.
From their early days cutting their teeth in El Paso’s hardcore scene to achieving an undeniable legacy, Omar and Cedric: If This Ever Gets Weird promises to be “a totally unique window into the incredible journey of one of this generations most progressive and prolific musical partnerships.”
Omar and Cedric: If This Ever Gets Weird will premiere at the Raindance Film Festival on October 28th, 2023. Watch the trailer below.
