In 2006, Jim Jarmusch released three short films shot in "late September 1992, somewhere in California..." for Jonas Mekas's online film collection at jonasmekas.com. Under the vignette "Guest Film Makers", Jim Jarmusch offers three "garage tapes" he made with Tom Waits:
RELAXATION
"Tom describes his preferred, unorthodox method of relaxation." (2:07 min)
MURDER IN THE RED BARN
"Tom performs his song, 'Murder in the Read Barn' solo, with vocals and assorted percussion." (6:07 min)
HAGFISH
3:38 min, "Tom reveals to Jim the mysterious properties of a little-known slime eel, the hagfish."
(They are still available as purchasable downloads, here)
