In Robert McGinley’s film, SHREDDER ORPHEUS, the Greek myth is reimagined as a post-apocalyptic skateboard rock opera—a low budget hallucination that drops somewhere between the music video for Devo’s “Whip It,” a Bones Brigade skate tape, and a surrealist art project.  The story follows Orpheus, a rock star who descends to hell in order to save his kidnapped wife (and the universe) from Satan and his hypnotic TV signals.
