I talked about @blackzerodisc films with the man behind the company himself! Stephen Broomer is a great guy to talk cinema with. https://t.co/dZW529ct3A

What I'm proudest of with Black Zero might be the artist interviews that almost every disc comes with - long-form interviews with filmmakers like R. Bruce Elder, Rick Hancox, Larry Kardish, Richard Kerr. That's how each disc serves as a masterclass in experimental filmmaking.

Finally watched these two @blackzerodisc releases of Richard Kerr films and these are great, both the early political tone poems and the later more formally motivated studies. Highly recommend

fwiw @blackzerodisc’s release of EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE AGAIN ALIVE was a major inspiration for my most recent short and def can’t recommend getting access to these titles however you can. they’re mind-opening and help you see the possibilities of cinema in a real way.
