One more thing: Mary Bronstein's film Yeast is at long last getting widely recognized as the instant classic it was too rarely understood to be at the time of its scant release; she'll introduce it today at @BAMfilmBrooklyn at 5: newyorker.com/culture/the-fr… newyorker.com/culture/richar…
Incredibly sad to hear that Joel DeMott passed away last week. DeMott's films 'Seventeen' and 'Demon Lover Diary' are absolute classics. I wrote more on her work at the link below but seek out the films. They deserve so much more attention! splittoothmedia.com/demon-lover-di…
Recently re-discovered — this great Joel DeMott’s letter to a film class cum manifesto on filmmaking. Worth a look. dropbox.com/scl/fi/jkqe691…

We made this film (Boundaries) awhile ago now. Wanted to do something pretty minimalist, horror-infused. Simple premise: two men design and build a detention center. Little dialogue, and what was there was suggestive as to *why* someone would do this, be ok with this.
