Premiering at SXSW in March and gaining early critical acclaim, the movie chronicles the four-decade musical partnership of Omar Rodríguez-López and Cedric Bixler-Zavala, two outsiders from El Paso whose journey is truly unlike no other. From their explosive debut as post-hardcore band At The Drive-In, to their current iteration as the revered prog-rock band The Mars Volta, the duo's accomplishments as a band are equally as interesting as the journey they took to get here.
Footage culled from hundreds of hours of video filmed by Omar gives viewers an intimate look into the inner workings of the band, from struggles with addiction and loss, to finding major success, 'OMAR AND CEDRIC: IF THIS EVER GETS WEIRD' is a story of tragedy, betrayal, forgiveness and, ultimately, redemption.
