A kilted warrior crowns the New York skyline in this joyous tribute to Jesse Rae, a musician from the Scottish Borders who plugged into the electric current of Parliament-Funkadelic. "Be Yersel" uses unseen archive, music and stunning animation to chart Rae's work during the dawn of MTV, bringing 80s NYC to a standstill atop the Brooklyn Bridge to shaping seminal hits like "Inside Out" - Rae fused tartan swagger with transatlantic groove to craft a mythic, pluralist vision of Scotland in the key of funk!

Featuring funk-legends and multi-Grammy-award winners such as; George Clinton (Parliament/Funkadelic) Steve Jordan (Rolling Stones/Letterman Show) Jimmy Douglass (Justin Timberlake/Timbaland producer) Doug Wimbish (Living Colour) Skip MacDonald (Tackhead) Nina Blackwood (MTV VJ)

IN PRODUCTION - a feature-length FUNKUMENTARY - coming to theatres and streamers near you!

Directed by Dr Marco J Federici
