Pure Comedy (co-directed by Josh and Grant James) is a gorgeously rendered black and white document of the live tracking of Pure Comedy, as well as a surreal look into Tillman's writing process. A six person crew, complete with cranes in the tracking rooms, captured every moment of the recording, giving the viewer intimate audience to actual album takes, including the one and only 2:00am performance of the 13-minute "Leaving LA." It also features the only known recording of Tillman's love ballad to his sound engineer Trevor Spencer.
