Summary:

'The Ballad of A.J Weberman' is a documentary film that observes the obsession of A.J Weberman, Bob Dylan's most infamous fan and founder of garbology, the study of trash. As Weberman attempts to understand Dylan's world, the film portrays just how far he will go to get the information he craves. An animated depiction of a recorded conversation between Dylan and Weberman depicts the bizarre relationship these men share. Through 'Dylanology,' Weberman attempts to analyze every aspect of Dylan's life and career in his own erratic way."

The film won the Raindance Award from the British Independent Film Awards. For more information visit www.balladofajweberman.com
