Gary
Synopsis
In 1984 music producer Gary Davis left early recording success in New Jersey and New York City for a fresh start in Florida. From his new home he got working - making over 40 feature length kung fu, zombie and blaxploitation movies, while also helping birth a new sound in hip hop; Miami booty bass. Gary pushes against deep rooted racism and all the hurdles of life to make his art, with an eccentric cast of locals helping along the way. This film mixes archival footage, the films and music of Gary Davis, interviews and a few non sequiturs to paint a fever dream portrait of this determined artist.
