- Mullets and Bars
-
“Mullets and Bars” is a feature-length documentary by Seumas Next and Stephan Kern that explores American stereotypes and stars John Washington VII (the ancestral nephew of George Washington).[1] Mullets and Bars was nominated for best documentary at its premiere at the Thirteenth Raindance Film Festival in London in October 2005.
Mullets and Bars was planned to be the world’s first animated feature documentary but the conversion costs proved prohibitive. In ye olde English a Mullet is a star and Bar is a stripe, as seen in the Coat of Arms of George Washington and engraved in an ancient church in Steeple, Dorset, England.
Mullets and Bars was produced by Occidental Films in 2004 and filmed in London, Edinburgh, Paris, Cannes, Amsterdam and Sydney. Filmed under Dogme 95 rules its most infamous scene features an interview with the Scottish author Irvine Welsh that was filmed in complete darkness in a council flat in Edinburgh illuminated by only the white noise of a television.
