Omar And Cedric: If This Ever Gets Weird
"If this ever gets weird, promise me we can just stop, as nothing is more important than loving you." These were the words of Omar RodrĂguez-LĂłpez to his childhood friend Cedric Bixler-Zavala in January 2000, on the eve of recording a breakthrough album that would change their lives forever.
For a decade they stayed true to this pact, until it was spectacularly broken in a haze of deception, Scientology, death, and betrayal. The friends then spent the following ten years trying to heal those wounds.
This is a documentary film about the artistic and personal relationship between Omar RodrĂguez-LĂłpez and Cedric Bixler-Zavala (At the Drive-In / The Mars Volta). It is also the story of two immigrant outsiders and their desire to create their own place in the world.
Told almost entirely through hundreds of hours of intimate footage filmed by Omar RodrĂguez-LĂłpez over the last 40 years, the documentary charts the duo’s intense and profound journey of friendship, brotherhood, love, fame, self-discovery, and sacrifice.
A story like no other, the film unflinchingly tackles the greater themes of success, addiction, death, grief, tragedy, betrayal, forgiveness, and redemption head-on. An intimate portrait of a lifelong friendship and a look at the world through a whole new creative prism.
