Zosia Mamet Wants You to Donate to Her $32,000 Folk Music Kickstarter
LatestOh, rich people. They’re always made to believe that ANYTHING is possible in the beautiful universe we live in, that every dream is within reach, that people will actually care when they pick up a banjo and launch a Kickstarter. Zosia Mamet — aka Shoshanna from Girls — is one of those rich people. Zosia and her sister Clara were all like, Let’s spend time some time together! Let’s do covers of folk songs and dress up like Janis Joplin if Janis Joplin was in this spring’s Free People catalogue!
This is all well and good, but Zosia and Clara Mamet think their shitty folk song is so good it deserves a music video. Though both are gainfully employed, children of a well-known and well-paid film director, and friends with other similarly privileged individuals, they really need your help. In order “to realize through the visual artistry of some very talented people the universal feeling of un-requited love,” they’re begging you to help them out and raise $32,000 for their first music video. The video will be for “Bleak Love,” a song that, from the brief snippets I heard on their Kickstarter, I could have probably come up with while taking a leisurely poop. (It is a song about when the Mamet sisters had their hearts broken.)
