Kill the Moonlight is a 16mm feature film [1] completed in 1991.[ citation needed ] It is a comedy about a stock car racer. [2] As the film unfolds, the main character starts to unravel in strange ways when he is contaminated by toxic waste. At the same time, the plot of the film disintegrates and scenes start to go out of sync, and the picture goes upside down and backwards at times.[ citation needed ] Two of the film's characters are sampled in Beck's song "Loser". [3] The film was unprinted and seen by very few until 1994 when it premiered at the Rome Film Festival.[ citation needed ]
