Stumble Upon Movies

The absurdity of the holidays has descended upon us and so we present Part II of FAMILY DINNERS featuring the masterful mashup of melodrama and screwball comedy by Director Pedro Almodóvar in Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown.  

Women on the Verge has everything: 80s fashion, drug laced gazpacho, and oh so many fuck bois.

We also promised a secret link to our own films.  Some of our work is presently on the indie film festival circuit (Berlin Independent Art Film Festival - checkout Part I to learn more).  Here is a smattering of our film oeuvre from the last 15+ years*. 

*Currently we are in post-production for the very first Zero Waste Feature Film, Citywide, which is due out in January!  Only 16 ounces of garbage was made over the course of almost 3 years while producing Citywide.

We believe that movies should not come at the expense of the planet and so, since 2016, we have been making all of our films without generating any garbage.

In honor of the holiday season now firmly upon us - Part I of FAMILY DINNERS features the master of the surreal, Director Luis Buñuel's The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie.   What could be more appropriate for the month of November than celebrating the fine art of dinner parties, even if you are never actually able to eat? 

In this episode we discuss surrealism, Luis Buñuel's work, and of course we have some suggestions of what you might like to stumble upon next should you find yourself ravenous for more surrealist art.

We also promised a secret link to our own surrealist (zero waste) short film Self Tape*.  It is currently still on the indie film festival circuit, but because you are magical for listening to our ramblings, we would be honored to secretly share with you our own interpretations of this most excellent genre. 

We hope you enjoy Self Tape as much as we enjoyed making it.

*Currently we are the very first film studio in the world to be making films sustainably.  We produced and shot Self Tape generating only 8 ounces of garbage destined for the landfill.  We are in post-production for the very first Zero Waste Feature Film, Citywide, which is due out in January!  

Only 16 ounces of garbage was made over the course of almost 3 years while producing Citywide.

Today's episode is Part II of WITCHCRAFT - featuring The Love Witch, written, directed, edited and masterfully styled by Anna Biller, this indie feature is an incredible homage to 1960s pulp filmmaking at its best.   The Love Witch is an excellent chaser to Romero's Season of the Witch, both feminist discussions of the role of women in a patriarchal society.

In the spirit of the season, this episode is all about witches.  Indie filmmakers Austin and Emily of Fishtown Films will be discussing the effortlessly stylish 1973 Season of the Witch written and directed by the master of the macabre George A. Romero. 

Grab some popcorn, put on something comfy, and settle in for a long chat about witches, indie films, and 70s fashion.

Today's episode is Part I of WITCHCRAFT - featuring Season of the Witch, written + directed by George A. Romero - a true inspiration for the witch movies which follow - everyone from The Craft which lifts direct scenes to the totally unique and campy pulp of The Love Witch (Part II of this series), a true feminist exploration of the role of women in a patriarchal society and what tools they need to break free from their cages.
