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.
