Curiosità

Dead Hands Dig Deep is a 2016 American documentary film and the directorial debut of Jai Love. The film follows a now thirty-eight-year-old Edwin Borsheim, vocalist of the infamous and controversial deathrock band Kettle Cadaver as he reflects on his dark past.

Development

The film was shot in Temecula, California and produced by Lonesome Pictures. Prior to the production of the film, there was an extensive search for Borsheim. Although his residence had been confirmed, there were different variables that stood in the way of actual contact. At the time, Borsheim had no phone or email and his property was guarded by his watch-dogs which made it virtually impossible to come in contact with him.

On the first day of principal shooting, Borsheim began directing violent threats at the film crew. Borsheim made it clear that until the production of the film, he had no guests in over a year, and had been completely alone in his residence. When first in talks with Borsheim over the phone, the filmmakers began receiving disturbing pictures from Borsheim. As production continued, other members of the crew began to receive similar images.

Borsheim called making the film therapeutic and often stayed in contact with many of the crew after its completion. He also attended a special screening of the film at the ArcLight cinema in Hollywood. Borsheim died by suicide on June 20, 2017.
