Can you make a meme into a movie ? More to the point , would you watch a half - 60 minutes mockumentary about a 2015 Facebook meme ?
That ’s the melodic theme behindSir Isengord ’s Theory of the Magnificent Spinning Quasi Table , a new film from theatre director Dyland Mars Greenberg . Sir Isengord state the level — in a circuitous , intimately nonsensical way — of a professor who traps his awareness in a piddling black boxwood after his death in the 1800s .
Greenberg trace the motion picture as “ a parody of pseudoscience and overly - wordy ism so I wanted to make kind of a dadaist mockumentary - sarcasm that skewered media worship and sort of ‘ release back the clock ’ on delusion of grandeur create by social media . ”

The original meme first appeared on a Facebook page created by Greenberg ’s acquaintance Ezra Pailer , a mock public material body who spouted pseudo - pedantic hokum . The profile pic shows a dark , distorted pictorial matter of a vaguely nineteenth - C British noble overlaid with schoolbook : “ deal that faint thing such as sex and art are most likely not real as they are far too vague and evasive to support the rich and dichotomous of the realness cement by Sir James isanburks infallible hypothesis of the spinning skience ball . Rather it is most consistent and of the most fruitful wisdom to consider everything to be little piece of Isengord ’s magnificent spinning ‘ quasi table , ’ the real origin of all life and motion . ”
Subsequent post follow a standardised format , and the lyric of the meme seem in the moving picture . The pic makes real the elements of the meme ’s cerebral universe , give Sir Isengord a classroom , the black box that holds his thinker , and a present - day squad of bastard scientist investigating his ideas and spirit . The prof himself address as a hologram created by an old - shoal transparency projector .
publish on YouTube , “ Sir Isengord ” follow the produce trend of Instagram ’s memers expanding beyond the two - dimensional and the exclusively on-line . Memers are now putting on and selling out live art and drollery showsaround the land , an evolution from the format of text and image to in - someone performance . Zola , released in 2020 , turn a viral Twitter thread into one of the buzziest movies of the twelvemonth .
Greenberg antecedently created a euphony television for Michael C. Hall ’s stripe Princess Goes , which premiered in Rolling Stone , and a short picture for Cartoon connection ’s Adult Swim . It stars Joe Estevez , the brother of Martin Sheen , Tony Zaret , a standup comedian who run a popular Instagram meme accounting , Jon Leiberman , a newsperson for the Howard Stern show , and Bill Weeden , a Broadway playwright .
