Waste of Time (NR)

synopsis

Shaun Scott's "Waste of Time" is an excitable panorama of the bubbles and bursts that characterized economic time in the 20th century, a backwards glance filtered through the lenses of both the BP Oil Spill and the Great Recession. "Waste of Time" poses manipulated rare, archival footage alongside contemporary film and photography, and is driven by music from Seattle outfits such as USF, Speak, TheeSatisfaction, Josh Rawlings, 10.4.roger, and Evan Flory-Barnes. The result is a strange, sugary, urgent nostalgia trip.
