The Ballad of A.J Weberman is a feature length documentary chronicling the life, times and crimes of notorious Bob Dylan obsessive and inventor of ‘Garbology’, A.J Weberman, co-directed by Oly Ralfe and James Blumel. It’s an irreverent and witty exploration into one man's obsessions; his life lived on the New York fringes and a uniquely twisted take on the American dream.
The film enjoys an unforgettable cast of characters including Lower East Side street punk-poet David Peel, former child dancer Jay Byrd, and Aaron Kay aka 'The Pieman'. A rare and astonishing telephone conversation between Weberman and Dylan appears in the film as an animation. And to top it all, the film is accompanied by a vivid Americana soundtrack performed by members of the cast.
