At the end of the month filmmaker Jake Housh will share a documentary called That Looks Fun, which follows the works of deceased singers Jenny Mae and Jerry Wick (Gaunt) and, in a larger sense, focused on the Columbus, OH music scene of the 1990s. The timing of the documentary is in conjunction with the release of a Jenny Mae compilation titled What's Wrong With Me: Singles and Unreleased Tracks, also out on Sept. 30 via Anyway Records and Don Giovanni Records.

The stories of both artists are also featured in Bela Koe-Krompecher’s memoir Love, Death & Photosynthesis (published on paperback by Don Giovanni). Mae passed away in 2016 after a struggle with alcohol and mental illness, whereas Wick passed away in a bicycle incident in 2001.
