Amidst this turmoil, London and her soul mate M16 search for meaning in a phantasmagoria without it.
Satire and deconstruction the high art scene with an eyeball-scorching onslaught of mind-blowing narrative madness and honey-laced pathos.
Part AC/DC, part Jacques Derrida. An experimental film made as a response to the critical theory aspects of the filmmakers degree and academic film criticism.
Underground homage to Easy Rider about two girl bikers with bad attitudes who wind up on the wrong end of evil Cruella's shotgun.
“Obscene, energetic, and grotesque… DER ELVIS is less a barbaric yawp than a 20-minute retch, building in ferocity until the final unctuous voice-over.” - The Village Voice, J. Hoberman, 11-24-87

A brief glimpse of the living conditions of the titular snackwhore.
Over 30 filmmakers and friends of Strand Releasing have come together to honor the company’s indelible contribution to independent cinema over the past thirty years. The participating filmmakers have each created a short film for the project, all shot on iPhones. Produced by Strand Releasing and Connor Jessup.
This film involves three interwoven stories with the only seeming connection being the delusions of the involved leads. In the first element of the film, a hot-tempered world tennis star loses endorsement contracts when the press outs him even though he claims the report is false. In the second, a talent-less woman struggles to make it in the world of fashion design or the music video business. In the last, an animal activist runs a dog-adoption agency and has an imaginary friend who appears in a St. Bernard suit.
A short experimental cutup film by Jon Moritsugu.
