This 32 minute Visual Album is genuinely a masterful piece of work. So much love & passion has been poured into it and it really shows. Highly recommend that you see this in its entirety, as it’s a wild ride from start to finish. If you only know Jazz Emu from YouTube music videos, be prepared to see another side of him, and if you’re not familiar, then be prepared to visit a unique universe that will keep you guessing. Archie Henderson, the creator of Jazz Emu, wrote, produced & performed all the songs along with providing a fantastic acting performance as the characters of Jazz Emu & Shadow Emu. He is joined by long time friend & collaborator Hunter Allen who provides masterful direction and editing, and it is a true visual feast. There is also a great supporting cast including cameos from Alex Horne of Taskmaster fame and Comedy Legend Harry Enfield. This film takes you on a journey that has so many twists and turns, that you may not have time to stop and think about what you’ve just seen and heard. You will want to watch it over and over, not only to see new detail that you may have missed, and speculate on the meaning of the journey the characters go through, but to also to watch/listen again to the music that is genuinely impressive, catchy, funny, heartwarming and unpredictable all at the same time. You will laugh, you may cry, you might even get grossed out, but I guarantee that you will now be a fan of the Henderson/Allen Emuverse and be asking for more.
