Synopsis:
Using intimate live performances with fellow songwriters Sufjan Stevens and Denison Witmer as a pathway, All the Way from Michigan Not Mars
is a meditative exploration of Rosie Thomas’ work as it connects to her
as a human being. Often raising more questions than answers, the film
is a lyrical examination of Thomas’ quest for an expression of truth
and her unique brand of performance; combining songs of plaintive
melancholy with sharpwitted banter and Sheila, her bizarre stand-up
comedian alter ego.
Featuring: Rosie Thomas, Sufjan Stevens, Denison Witmer, Damien Jurado and Sheila Saputo
