On Beautiful Scars and Reconnected Roots
BEAUTIFUL SCARS OPENS WITH A MOMENT OF PURE CHAOS. Musician Tom Wilson, best known for his work with Junkhouse and Blackie and the Roadie Kings, is driving to a gig. He’s stuck in traffic and nearly crossing the line between being fashionably late and being an asshole. He then realizes that the car’s out of gas. Wilson’s on his phone and he’s freaking out—not just because he feels like a jerk, but also because it’s his first day with director Shane Belcourt’s crew. The cameras roll throughout the meltdown.
Belcourt, who was in another car at the time, admits that Wilson’s vulnerability before the camera crew is a perfect introduction. “When you see Tom go through it, you see that he’s a lot like us,” will have the viewer hooked with Wilson’s no-BS honesty.
