Dan Deacon Scores, Stars in Adult Swim’s "Unedited Footage of a Bear" "Infomercial"
Adult Swim has been airing a series of bizarre, late night “infomercials” best experienced when you’re so tired/stoned you can’t even be sure that what you’re watching is real. Following in the tradition of “Too Many Cooks”, they’ve now unleashed “Unedited Footage of a Bear”, which goes above and beyond what the title promises. It features a score from Dan Deacon, who also makes a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo as a detective. What does a detective have to do with unedited footage of a bear? Well, you’ll just have to see. Check it out below.
“Unedited Footage of a Bear” also features a cameo from M.C. Schmidt from Matmos as another detective. It was directed by frequent Deacon collaborator Alan Resnick and features many other Baltimore artists.
