The otherworldly lyrics and dreamlike, ethereal music of alt-rock band Sparklehorse are mirrored in the painful yet inspiring life of singer-songwriter and founder Mark Linkous.

Following Linkous’ tragic suicide in 2010, UK filmmakers Alex Crowton and Bobby Dass enlisted Linkous' friend and collaborator Angela Faye Martin to tell his story. The Sad and Beautiful World of Sparklehorse is a touching celebration and loving portrayal of the life and music of a creative genius at odds with his world.
