At this month's Sundance Independent Film Festival, 2 Live Crew's [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/985677/personmain.jhtml"]Luther Campbell[/url] will star in a short film probably unlike anything you've ever seen before.

"The Life and Freaky Time of Uncle Luke" tells a fictionalized account of Campbell's hip hop career and campaign to be mayor of Miami-Dade County. The story line strays from fact in many, many places, but none is more notable than the nuclear fallout Miami suffers after a reactor explodes, leaving Uncle Luke as the sole survivor.

Director Jillian Mayer used her signature art style and cardboard cutouts to give "Uncle Luke" a look of its very own.

In addition to the clip, we also have an exclusive first look at the "Uncle Luke" poster:
