I was listening to the 1970 Rolling Stone interview with Jim Morrison and he had mentioned a film he made with some friends a few months beforehand about a hitchhiker who comes out of the desert and travels to LA.
"What's it about?" the interviewer asked.
"It doesn't really have a plot," said Morrison.
Very true. This unfinished project made by Morrison and his friends was really just an experiment in film-making. Morrison originally went to the University of California (I believe) and was a film major, and he continued to express a deep interest in film later on in his musical career.
If you are a Doors fan or a fan of Morrison in general then this will probably appeal to you. It's about fifty minutes long and begins with Morrison (The Hitchhiker) emerging from a small pool of water in some woods and he makes a trek to the highway, where he gets a ride and goes to LA. That's all that happens.
If you have no interest in Morrison you probably won't find this very engaging - but for a fan of The Doors such as myself it's an interesting, rare slice of Morrison's creative work outside of music and poetry.
