Basement Show

Just before 2020 ended, I revisited and completed an old film project from 2008.  It’s an experimental film shot on super8 with a flashlight taped to the camera.  Hand-processed in buckets, blown up to 16mm with effects using an optical printer, and hand-processed in buckets again.  The images/sound are from a basement show at FFA, in Boston, MA, on 11/24/2008.  Female Trouble, Kill Conrad, Off With Their Heads, & The Kill Boys are the bands that played.

Though the piece was finished digitally, I still feel that the film used to shoot it and re-photograph it was absolutely necessary in capturing the dirty, wild mess of a typical basement show.
