Jon Burgerman is very proud to announce the documentry film he’s worked on as animation artist and associate producer is receiving it’s world premier at SXSW 2013 today.
SYNOPSIS
Californian hip-hop duo Silibil n’ Brains were going to be massive. What no-one knew was the pair were really students from Scotland, with fake American accents and made up identities.
The Great Hip Hop Hoax (92 minutes) is a film about truth, lies and the legacy of faking everything in the desperate pursuit of fame. The American dream, told by people who’d never even been to America.
