- Hazel (dual) is a split screen film, shot in 16mm b/w, inspired by the legendary recording of the underrated guitarist Eddie Hazel's (1950-1993) ten-minute guitar solo on "Maggot Brain", the title track to Funkadelic's 1971 album . The film imagines the fictitious moment when bandleader George Clinton "misleads" the guitarist Eddie Hazel to record what is considered one of the greatest guitar solos ever recorded. Performed by actor and musician Ricky Goldman whose previous collaborations with the artist include leading roles in the short films It Seems to Hang On (US, 2015, Venice Film Festival); We Demand, co-directed with Claudrena N. Harold (US, 2016, Berlinale 'Forum Expanded') and Gospel Hill, co-directed with Claudrena N. Harold (US, 2022, Chicago Intl FF) "In the making of the song 'Maggot Brain', to get the best out of the 21 year old guitarist Eddie Hazel, I always thought that George Clinton (who may or may not have been under the influence of LSD) told Eddie Hazel that his mother had died. I have always believed that Clinton lied to Hazel to get him to rock-out. The true story (or close to it) was that Clinton told Hazel to "play as if your mom died" or "play as if you been told your mamma died" or "picture your mamma dead". Either way, Clinton did not mislead Hazel. In doing so, his virtuoso performance brings his mother back from the dead."--Kevin Jerome Everson.—the filmmaker and producers
