The Drive-In explores William Greaves’ one-of-a-kind, reality bending documentary/fiction masterpiece

Are we all in a movie right now? Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One follows director William Greaves as he leads a cast and crew through a bewildering Central Park film production. They shoot take after take of the same odd scene, with constant interruptions from pedestrians and police officers, while Greaves’ crew record their theories on what exactly is going on with their director.

Robert and T discuss the trials and tribulations faced by Greaves throughout his career and work through the one-of-a-kind structure he helped foster in Symbiopsychotaxiplasm. The further our hosts move into Greaves’ experimental masterpiece, the more questions they have. Pull into the drive-in to hear all about it!
