RUBBER JOHNNY – the long-awaited release from award winning director Chris
Cunningham – chronicles a 16-year-old, inbred mutant's solitary existence,
locked in a pitch-black basement by his ashamed parents. They are TV addict
rednecks who occasionally feed Johnny and yell at him for making noise.
Johnny's only company in the basement is his little dog. His dog's I.Q. far
outstrips Johnny's, who is a completely insane, bi-polar imbecile.

The first of many projects with Warp Films, Rubber Johnny is an abstract
short featuring music by legendary electronic composer, Aphex Twin. Shot
entirely on DV in infrared, this lo-fi live action animation is unbeatable
on a techinical level. The packaging presents Cunningham’s first published
sketchbook of original drawings and photographic artwork which promises that
the DVD will be a highly desirable collectable for hardcore Warp fans and
art aficinados.

Cunningham is best known for his music promos for Madonna, Bjork and Aphex
Twin. Collaborating with Aphex Twin has proved to be a successful
partnership. Banned by MTV, Windowlicker (Aphex Twin) won him numerous
awards, and Come to Daddy (Aphex Twin) recently made the top 100 ‘Scariest
TV Moments of all Time’ on Channel 4 in the UK. His Director’s Series DVD
has sold fervently, proving Cunningham has transcended the boundaries of the
average music promo director.
