This is Rubber Production's first student short video for my course. I thought it was very good for a first attempt at the art of filmmaking. What do you think? The creative students were: Hye Hwa Hong, Silviana Henriquez, Korey Regan, Juan Leon and Ave Pluum. The professor was Peter Bardazzi.

George A. Romero’s first film would revolutionize horror movie making forever. Night of the Living Dead, shot in straightforward black and white, brought gore and despair to the screen in a manner never before attempted: as blunt a representation as possible. Not the first film to utilize gore, Night of the Living Dead was the first film to present weird, bloody carnage as an existential terror that had no meaning and no resolution. This concept was embraced by youth who were disillusioned with the Vietnam War and thus the no-budget zombie flick became a cult success. Shot with a stark feel, the mindless zombies descend upon the completely innocent. This simple structure has lead many to interpret the film as political allegory meditating upon white people’s fear of minorities. But for its political significance, rebellious filmmaking, and historical importance, Night of the Living Dead is a definitive classic.

Indie Fever is a public service announcement about the dangers of Independent Filmmaking. It was produced with the idea that if we could save one person from a life of despair as an independent filmmaker then it would be worth it.

A landmark in African American independent filmmaking, The Blood of Jesus is a moralistic fantasy adventure through the afterlife. This was the first feature length foray by director Spencer Williams, who utilized an all black cast and a shoestring budget. The result is a look into the life and faith of African Americans in the forties. A pious woman is accidentally shot by her husband, and proceeds to a place in between Heaven and Hell. There she is tempted by the devil to lead a sinful life. She goes from a nightclub to a roadhouse, witness easy money and debauchery. Through these energized scenes, Williams’ abilities as a director shine through the meager means available to make the film. A struggle for righteousness and goodness, The Blood of Jesus is a historically crucial look at African American culture and art during the great depression.

Fred Kohler Jr. is a tough, gun toting, muscled cowboy who likes to fight first in The Pecos Kid. Kohler’s father, Fred Kohler Sr., was also a famous western star, and his son brings the same gravitas and swagger that made his father so acclaimed. The Pecos Kid starts off rough with a young man’s entire family being murdered. Fortunately, he would grow up to be the savage Kohler, who’s more than capable of exacting revenge. And that’s exactly what he has in mind. The wealthy old baron responsible for the takeover of his family’s old home is protected by a large number of henchmen, and Kohler takes them all on in a barrage of well executed fist fights. The Pecos Kid is gritty western filmmaking like it’s supposed to be done.

Anthony Rapp blows chunks on the set of Andy Dick's new movie. From the wildly creative mind of Andy Dick comes an untamed and hilarious new mockumentary Danny Roane: First Time Director. Featuring an all-star cast that includes James Van Der Beek (The Rules of Attraction), Maura Tierney (TV’s “News Radio”), Kate Flannery (TV’s “The Office”), Michael Hitchcock (Waiting for Guffman) plus many other surprise appearances, the film is an unapologetic, politically incorrect, balls-out comedy about independent filmmaking.

Things Dave has learned throughout his experiences in both life and filmmaking.

Stories from the New West "An ambitious and often moving feature, produced locally and directed by Seattle's Matt Wilkins, "Buffalo Bill's Defunct" is both shrewd and sophisticated filmmaking. Essentially a collection of poignant short tales about the grown children and grandchildren of ornery but magnanimous "Buffalo" Bill,the action begins when Bill accidentally rams his truck through a wall of his dilapidated shed. Deciding it's time to demolish the rustic hut, widower Bill enlists his kin in removing its family paraphernalia from bygone years. This dismantling of the past becomes a catalyst for learning more about Bill's kids (and their kids) through spare vignettes that have been compared, with good reason, to stories of the late Port Angeles writer Raymond Carver." --Tom Keogh, Seattle Times "Startlingly unique" - Sean Axmaker, Seattle P-I "Keenly real" - Shannon Gee, The Stranger

The thought-provoking dream sequences are worth the price of admission alone! Kevin Russell sets out to make a movie that will make a difference, but as he begins to experience success, he finds himself straying from his cause, and bending to meet the desires of the corporate world. An original story, very uniquely told. The mind-boggling dream sequences will have you thinking for days! A great film for thinkers, dreamers, and all lovers of independent filmmaking. Winner, "Outstanding Dramatic Comedy", 2005 Windsong International Film Festival, and Winner, Grand Rapids Festival Of The Arts, "DREAMER: The Movie" was released in select US theaters on New Year's Eve 2004, and has received high marks from domestic and international film critics.

THE REAL IN FAIRYTALES is a collection of five short films from New York hyphenate Jadina Lilien, a photographer-filmmaker-writer. Dealing with the themes of love, loss, fantasy, and heritage in a city where the mishmash of cultures can sometimes be alienating, Lilien is able to add a sparkle of auteur magic and wonder to the already commendable performances delivered by her actors in this series. From the Director: "We live in a world inundated with distractions but behind all this activity is the rich world of the imagination. In THE REAL IN FAIRYTALES I have blended together documentary and narrative styles of filmmaking to tell the story of the magic in life that can often be hidden by outer circumstances...

A slow paced psycho-thriller, produced by low-budget horror icon, the infamous Roger Corman, not Coppola's debut in filmmaking but the first he acknowledged, or at least the first he didn't write off. Although it has some nice shots and cool moments it's not a great movie. On the contrary. Coppola shows little of the style, craft and technique that established his authorship reputation. To his credit, the somewhat creepy and bleak back drop for the film he created. But I don't want to scare you off. I leave that to the film itself. After all, Dementia 13 has many of the enjoyable horror film ingredients.
