A few years ago, Asheville based filmmaker CHUSY (Anthony Haney-Jardine), wrote and directed a film originally titled Asheville, The Movie. Described as an autobiography in three parts, the film is a mad, comic, soulful romp through southern culture which breaks or invents cinema conventions without losing the audience for a moment. Like other indie hallmarks including Slacker, Pink Flamingos, Putney Swope, and Mystery Train, CHUSY's creation rejoices in the absurd interconnected flow of crazy characters, all motivated by good intentions. Featuring an all amateur cast and shot over the course of several weeks in various parts of Asheville, the film was re-titled Anywhere, USA and was shown at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival where it was awarded a special jury prize.
CHUSY's work is a small window into the rich, growing Asheville filmmaking and media arts community.
