Burning Man: The Musical (2021)

Burning Man: The Musical Movie Poster

This is one of those projects where someone on the way to burning man was like ‘hey you know what I REALLY hate? Techies! Bleeeeh’. Their friend then chimes in after dropping acid and suggests they make a movie about it.

While they're both passed out in their tent from heat exhaustion, one of them starts singing, and thinks they were given some divine creative spark from God, and as soon as they get home, they started to conceptualize this cheesefest.

But this movie fails even that experience. Its obviously all shot inside. Its got early 2000’s video filters on scenes which look like they're trying to hide the quality of the set, and the songs are a little embarrassing. (wait till you hear ‘What would Steven Jobs Do, Do-Do-Do-Do’). They then try to add this hint of ‘#metoo’ to the lead tech character by trying to get him to force the main female to wear a scantily clad bathing suit and at one point basically infers shes a slut so she should be fine with it.

Train Wreck. But not in the ‘Best Day Ever’ sense.
