'David Dixon is dead.' is a documentary of past events and of events that have yet to come. Therefore, it is a fiction, but one built solidly on the real-life public declaration by its maker, David Dixon, which states that after his death his head should be removed from his body and cleaned to the skull, the skull then included in an art piece. The film explores the implications of this declaration, going so far as to kill its maker, opening the film to a fictive future where the filmmaker's father comes to New York City to deal with his son's final dispensation, ultimately leading to Oklahoma City, Dixon's head now in a cooler.
