"River of Fundament" is a film collaboration between artist/filmmaker Matthew Barney and composer Jonathan Bepler, which combines cinema with elements of live performance, and opera. Loosely based on Norman Mailer's 1983 novel, "Ancient Evenings," Barney and Bepler's collaboration updates Mailer's narrative from ancient Egypt to the present day, amid an American landscape. The depiction of Mailer's Egypt is violent, erotic, and humorous, in a way that feels more like a dystopian mafia/family drama set in New York City in the 80's.

"River of Fundament" is directed by Matthew Barney and produced by Mike Bellon. Casting Director is Jenny Kern. If interested, please contact her at jenny@matthewbarney.com.
