Underground Film Links: July 29, 2012
By Mike Everleth ⋅ July 29, 2012
- This Week’s Must Read is Wired4Film’s interview with an ol’ Underground Film Journal fave: Chris Hansen, who has just wrapped up his 3rd feature film, Where We Started. The chat gets into detail on the challenges of filming a heavy dialogue indie film with just two actors that takes place mostly at night using a mostly student crew. Plus, there’s talk of the Christian themes that run through Hansen’s films, but don’t bonk you over the head, even considering he made a film with the word “Messiah” in the title.
- Another interview that’s not really film related, but I dig donna k.’s chats with artists, is her talk with sculptor Karyn Olivier. The photos of Olivier are also really worth clicking over for.
- This image from 1934’s The Black Cat starring Jacqueline Wells and Boris Karloff is also stunning to look at.
- Now THAT’S how one horror movie ad mat heavily steals from another’s poster.
- Alfred Eaker has a brief essay on Doris Wishman’s Bad Girls Go to Hell (1965).
- Bobby Putka runs through what he considers the top 5 film festivals in the U.S.
- Chuck Tryon has a fantastic post on the evolution of film blogging, especially in an academic light and as a pre-book publication resource.
- J.J. Murphy reviews Ti West’s horror flick The Innkeepers, saying the film exhibits a great sense of humor amid scares.
- This isn’t really film based, but Get Rich Slowly has good suggestions on how to run a successful Kickstarter campaign. I’ll just add my own brief tip: Be super aggressive! One Facebook status update per week isn’t going to draw in the screaming hordes.
- Should artists become corporations? Rhizome investigates.
