Kill the Moonlight is a 16mm feature film completed in 1991. It is an unconventional comedy about a stock car racer. As the film unfolds, the main character starts to unravel in strange ways when he is contaminated by toxic waste. At the same time, the plot of the film disintegrates and scenes start to go out of sync, and the picture goes upside down and backwards at times. Two of the film's characters are sampled in Beck's hit song "Loser". The film was unprinted and seen by very few until 1994 when it premiered at the Rome Italy Film Festival.
Synopsis
A stock car racer blows a rod and his car catches fire. To raise money to get back into the game he works as fish hatchery worker, toxic waste cleaner, drug peddler and thief. Director Steve Hanft, captures the life of a loser in slices of life as his surreal illegal days unfold in a different kind of narrative that casually leaves out plot and resolution.
