"It’s my own version of Aladdin wherein the lamp is a 3D printer, the princess is a decadent socialite like a Kardashian, and the planet gets a sex change. "Ciao Paesanos, It’s your old folk-singing friend Adam Green! If you’ve wondered why you haven’t seen me around lately snorting rails in your local bathroom stalls, it’s because I’ve been working on the creative project of a lifetime called Adam Green’s Aladdin. Let's just say it's a huge step on from the 2011 iPhone-shot, brain-bending ketamine movie The Wrong Ferrari (which also featured Culkin). And that's just the beginning of the lengthy cast list comprised of Green's buddies from the film, music, and art worlds, all of whom came together to make his long-incubated vision a technicolor, super surreal reality.

Alia Shawkat, Natasha Lyonne, Adam Green, and the genie Francesco Clemente
