“Most of the cast and crew were going out raving,” says film director Wiz. “There were some days on set when people hadn’t been to bed.”
He’s talking about an 18-minute film he made for Flowered Up, an acid-house influenced band synonymous with hedonism. Though made to accompany their 1992 song Weekender, it was more than just a music video. “Without Weekender there would be no Trainspotting,” Danny Boyle has said. Such has been its influence that the film is the subject of a new documentary – I Am Weekender.
