TRAIN ON THE BRAIN
(Dir. Alison Murray – Soundtrack by Beck)
2008

In what’s been called ‘The definitive train hopping doc’, filmmaker Alison Murray drops out of the rat race, grabs a camera, and hits the rails with other punk kids on a trans-continental freight train hopping adventure. On their odyssey they encounter a cast of hobos and runaways, scallywags and castaways. Amidst run-ins with the law, and surviving the perils of the elements, Alison weaves her narrative film over beautifully shot 8mm film and digital video with an old-time soundtrack by Beck (think Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly). Train On The Brain was originally produced for Channel 4 in the UK by Hellhound and MJW Productions. The film is HOLLYWOOD CAN SUCK IT!’s first release

Director ALISON MURRAY’s films have been shown with the work of Harmony Korine, Paul Thomas Anderson, Michel Gondry and Atom Egoyan. TRAIN ON THE BRAIN is Alison’s debut film, followed by MOUTH TO MOUTH starring ELLEN PAGE. Her newest work, CARNY is an award winning documentary following carnival workers on the midway. Alison Murray is going places for real. Keep your eyes peeled.
