A provocative caption, non? Aaron Rose<\/strong> is making a film featuring Cat Power’s songs<\/strong>. In the meantime, Rose and Matador Records<\/strong> have released the film teaser way below. Here is Rose’s explanation for the upcoming film, which features BMX sisters (Jade and Hazel Altheide<\/strong>) from Albuquerque:<\/p>\n

“Here is a short teaser for a long-form film I\u2019m making for Cat Power. The
\nfilm stars Jade and Hazel Altheide, two female teenage BMX riders who live
\njust outside of Albuquerque, New Mexico. As you will see they both totally
\nrip. This production has a pretty funny story actually. On a Thursday
\nmorning in September I got a call from Gaby Basora, who designs a really
\ncool fashion line from New York called Tucker. I had never met Gaby or
\nher team before. They proceeded to tell me about these two girls they had
\nheard about in New Mexico who ride BMX bikes and how they were great and
\nreally stylish and would I be interested in going to make a movie about
\nthem. There was a catch though. We needed to start shooting the next day!
\nNone of us had ever met Jade and Hazel or their family, and really had no
\nidea what the landscape in New Mexico would be like, but heck, I\u2019m always
\ndown for an adventure. I agreed to do it and the next morning we were on a
\nplane with cameras and gear to go shoot this movie. I had no idea what it
\nwas gonna be.<\/p>\n

When we arrived, we met the Altheide family, quickly got our gear together
\nand hit the trails. All I can say is wow! The girls were absolutely
\nbeautiful and the surrounding landscape (as you can see) was beyond
\nmagnificent. Coincidentally, as we were making this, Cat Power<\/strong> had
\njust dropped her new record SUN<\/strong>. I was listening to it on the rental car
\nradio as we cruised through the mountains of New Mexico and it just really
\nfit the vibe of what we were making. If you\u2019ve ever been to NM, you know
\nHow much sun they have\u2026TONS! The song featured in this video is called
\n\u201cNothin\u2019 But Time\u201d and I think it just fits perfectly. The way Chan screams
\n\u201cI wanna live!\u201d just fits the freedom of jumping bikes and bombing down
\nhills so perfectly. It was a match made in heaven. The upcoming long-form
\nfilm will include the entire eleven minute version of \u201cNothin\u2019 But Time\u201d.
\nWe\u2019re making it now. So excited to get this out. Stay tuned.” <\/p>\n
