ODDSAC is the new collaborative project by experimental pop group Animal Collective and video artist Danny Perez. It is not a movie for which Animal Collective made a soundtrack, nor is it an extended music video. The visual album ODDSAC is the product of four years of close collaboration between Perez and the band. The music and the moving image are a whole and intended not to be consumed apart from each other. Therefore, ODDSAC will only available as a DVD from the beginning of the summer.

The project made its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival where it was very well received. It presents a new synthesis of music and film and creates an immersive experience that goes way beyond a conventional narrative.

Music - Animal Collective: Avey Tare, Panda Bear, Geologist, Deakin.

Animal Collective are a loosely-assembled four-piece 'band' currently based between Lisbon, Baltimore, New York, and Washington DC. Friends since childhood, the band came together under the Animal Collective name in 2003, and have, since, received consistent critical acclaim, earning a reputation as one of the new millennium's most important, inventive musical acts. Vaguely considered freak-folk, their music is beholden to no particular genre; often made without guitars, bass, or drums, yet very much the work of a band. Key Albums: Sung Tongs (2004), Strawberry Jam (2007), Merriweather Post Pavilion (2009)

Director - Danny Perez

Black Dice. Danny is currently developing his next feature, which he calls a cross between Bully, Altered States, and Evil Dead.
