David Bazan at an event for Strange Negotiations (2019)

After abandoning his long-held Christian beliefs and walking away from his critically-acclaimed band, Pedro the Lion, musician David Bazan retreated into a solitary life as a solo musician - modest house shows, weeks away from family, and lingering questions about his faith, music, and America. STRANGE NEGOTIATIONS, which premiered at the SXSW Film Festival, follows Bazan a decade into his journey as a reluctant prophet for a generation wrestling with America's own crisis of faith, highlighted by the 2016 presidential election. —Aspiration Entertainment

Powerful, meaningful, and insightful

Shot beautifully with great atmosphere. David Bazan is so eloquent and the film shows that he has given his life to explore the ideas he "negotiates" with. The storyline of Bazan as a musician fit in perfectly as well. Strange Negotiations captures the turmoil within a man raised on principles he fell out of love with, all while surviving on his painfully public profession.
