Do you have Dion Agius' movie The Smiling Bag?
“The Smiling" Bag” is a movie Dion Agius made a few years ago and it makes me feel so warm and cozy. By the time the credits roll and the Ween tune kicks on my stomach is a big colorful gas bubble of joy and I could just fart a wine rainbow. I love this movie. I remember doing a premier for it a few years ago in the desert with The Paranoyds and all our friends and we all ended up jumping in the pool at midnight after the movie and then spent several days recovering poolside somewhere outside Palm Springs by drinking copious amounts of margaritas. And that’s the sort of vibe Dion creates with this vid. And now he wants to bring that to your quarantine room.
Keep in mind this is not a movie you can just google and find, you gotta email Dion yourself. Here’s his email (Dion@Epokhe.co), hit him up and he’ll send it to you himself. It’s a super unique film — visually and sonically stimulating. A few years ago it was designed to exist outside the online realm and it comes with special instructions from Dion:
Without talking too much I've just got a few requests for you when watching...
1. Please play it super fucking loud, either with headphones or some nice speakers. Feel the bass. Piss off the neighbours. Tag me in a photo of your ISOLATION premiere!
2. The smiling bag is free and for everyone to enjoy, please share the file to all your friends, your mum, your grandma, anyone and everyone who wants it. Sell it on the black market do whatever you want with it. It is yours and i want you and your friends to enjoy it.
And thats about it.
I reached to to Dion about this and he said this second wave for “The Smiling Bag” has been unreal:
“So many amazing people have been emailing from all over the world,” he said. “It’s been in credible to chat to them. Quite a few people from Italy actually and that has been a wakeup call.”
So, email Dion today at Dion@epokhe.co and he’ll fire it over himself. Make sure you play it loud and trip out with one of the most unique vids there is. Make it a weird Friday night in quarantine for Dion :) —Travis Ferré
