DE-INTERLACED (2005) This feature acts as a mass media survival guide for the informed citizen, describing the forces that shape our mainstream media system -- politics, advertising, government, and technology. These forces are then used to describe why some issues are covered (Tsunami, Martha Stuart, Paris Hilton, Street Crime), why some issues are not covered (gentrification, Free Trade Agreements, Third World Genocide), and why only the most homogenized content makes it through the Hollywood system. It then highlights what alternative forms of media are resisting these trends. Interviews include: Scott Beibin (Lost Film Fest), Penny Lane (Indymedia), Richard Rhames (Biddeford Public Access), Steve Thaxton (Gannet Broadcasting), Mary Caroline Powers (Broadcast Journalism), Noam Chomsky (Co-author of Manufacturing Consent), and more...

300 This is Revisionism (2008) is a remix of the film "300," about the Spartans and the Battle of Thermopylae. Our remix is a short video that deconstructs the archetypes used to tell the story in 300 by comparing how these same characterizations of GOOD and EVIL have been used in Hollywood cinema throughout history. WARNING: This video contains some graphic violence from the original film.

Moth (2007) Moth is a short movie and music video for the song "Moth," by folk singer/songwriter Denise Dill. It was filmed around some old railroad tracks and an abandoned brick building with some really crazy smoke stack in the middle of it. Pigeons seem to have made a nice home for themselves there. It's a very cool place.

 

 

Get Off The Truck (2005) In May 2005, three fresh new Black Factory employees – David, Pasqualina, and Nathaniel – are run through a galloping two-week rehearsal in preparation for the upcoming Black Factory national tour. The CEO of the Factory, William Pope.L, invites a young filmmaker into the intriguing yet elusive process of training performance artists to change the world. Soon serious questions arise concerning the CEO’s ethics and how his medical problems are affecting the rehearsal. The result is a rare, funny, sweet, and quirky perspective on the process and sacrifices necessary to the making of socially conscious performance art.

 

Man Wakes In Field (2004) In the tradition of French and British New Wave: a young man awakens to find himself in a field, alone, angry, and wearing a pair of tighty-whities. Our hero, who goes unnamed, wanders his way through the streets and back roads of Lewiston-Auburn, in search of absolutely nothing. He meets an odd cross section of characters, including Ares, the Greek god of war, who has taken the form of an organic farmer to restore balance to the war between plant and human. The film was produced in 7 days from concept to final cut.

And/Or (2005) Punk Rock show in the basement of the bangarang collective. You may recognize the lead singer as one of RPM's producers.

6 Kids from Maine vs. The FTAA in Miami (2004) In the early morning on November 19th, six kids from Maine headed to Miami to protest the FTAA.
