The multi-textured movie explores several themes, including mental illness, addiction, relationships, family dysfunction, and the struggle for artistic expression in the heart of America&#8217;s Bible Belt.

Dropsonic from Atlanta, and Asheville-based Monsters of Japan, are also covered.<\/p>\n<p>Production of Rebel Scum began two years ago while filming Dropsonic on tour. Director, Video Rahim, of Worldstorm Arts Lab, from Atlanta, caught an opening performance of The Dirty Works and thought there was a story to be told. Francis Percarpio, Producer and Owner of WorldStorm Arts Lab, later saw the footage and independently found a way to bring The Dirty Works story to film. In the ensuing years, the production staff have traveled back and forth to Knoxville and various other Southeastern cities with The Dirty Works, capturing their chaotic and bloody live performance on film for others to see.<\/p>\n<p>Rebel Scum hit the festival circuit early this year and most recently received the Audience Choice award at the Y&#8217;Allywood Film Festival in September.<\/p>\n<p>Complete list:<br \/>\nOfficial Selection &#8211; Y&#8217;Allywood Film Festival<br \/>\nOfficial Selection &#8211; Horrorvision Film Festival<br \/>\nOfficial Selection &#8211; South Texas Underground Film Festival<br \/>\nWinner &#8211; Audience Choice &#8211; Y&#8217;Allywood Film Festival<br \/>\nOfficial Selection &#8211; The Pollygrind Film Festival<\/p>\n<p>Since the completion of the film, Christopher Scum was involved in a major car accident and over three quarters of his body was badly burned.
