Austin-based composer and bandleader Graham Reynolds—celebrated for wide-ranging credits that include film scores for Richard Linklater and collaborations with Jack Black and DJ Spooky — leads a rousing experimental chamber opera that pays tribute to a revolutionary and legendary figure. Pancho Villa From a Safe Distance explores the life and legacy of Pancho Villa, and sonically traverses both Mexican and American perspectives to reveal intersections and conflicts to create a borderless dialogue about the shared histories of Mexico and the United States. Featuring hybrid compositional and production techniques and an extensive sound palette, Pancho Villa is a rousing transnational collaboration that brings together Mexico City theater collective Lagartijas Tiradas al Sol as librettists, director Shawn Sides of Rude Mechs, Kronos Quartet lighting designer Brian Scott, Austin Lyric Opera tenor Paul Sanchez, mezzo-soprano Liz Cass, Grammy Award® winning guitarist/producer Adrian Quesada, and backed by a stellar chamber ensemble with remixes by famed Monterrey DJ Toy Selectah.
[Graham Reynolds’ score] is nothing short of the perfect fit for Richard Linklater’s next gen rotoscope interpretation of Philip K. Dick’s novel of drug induced paranoia and corporate mind control. – IGN

An inspiring portrait of an artist who always finds something to do. If producers want to give him a lot of money, he’ll take it. If they don’t, he’s perfectly happy to head back to Texas and shoot movies for pennies in his own backyard. – AV Club
The rare documentary tribute in which you actually believe that all its interviewees only have positive things to say about the subject, especially once it delves into Linklater’s inextricable links to Austin’s independent film scene — the one has grown with the other. – The Village Voice
