Web Madness

Published on 2005/03/22 in Old Blog. 0 Comments

Gad I love the internet. As I sit in the club waiting for my job to start I ponder, how else would indy filmmakers from back in the day, who chose non-mainstream subject matters, were able to get their shit seen by the masses. As messed up as things are, I am glad I live in the time we are in and would not wish to live in any other era. My experience last year with ‘Join the Resistance’ was amazing. Thousands and people from all over the world got experience my work. My peers have also benefited from this network. ‘Bush Boys’ from POP films’ Alex Mothlagh, has been downloaded over 100,000 times since subMedia first put it online in 2003. Now it is featured on GNN’s front page and was one of the top picks on I-film last year.

Lost Film Fest

Well once again, the web has proven effective. Two weeks ago I got a call from Scott Beibin, the curator from the Lost Film Fest. He had stumbled into my newest film ‘Why I love shoplifting from Big Corporations’ and wanted to add it to the already impressive roster of ‘culture jamming’ and political films. I was in shock! I have been trying to get my work on that festival for some time now and had been unsuccessful. It turns out that Scott is a pretty down to earth guy and we shot the shit for an hour. I bitched at him for never bringing his festival to the ATL. He replied that he had no contacts in this city. Long story long, subMedia is bringing his ass and his collection of amazing flicks to Atlanta this saturday.

Among the films, a never before seen prank by infamous ‘Yes Men’ and all the Fensler G.I. Joe PSA’s your brain will be able to tolerate. Read below for more details.

Shock and Awe

About 2 years ago this punk ass mother fucker we like to call Mr. President, straight out lied to my face and told me that Saddam was holding a gigantic cock laser and that he was pointing it at my face. I called ‘bullshit’ on it, and so did you. Remember all those fuckin ‘Move On’ emails you sent me. Well here we are, 2 years later and Bush continues to shit on the Iraqi people while laughing at us and at the rest of the world.

Well I sure hope that you are still as appalled at the whole war thing as you were back then. So for Chrissake, don’t just express your distaste for armed conflict by forwarding me another ‘move on’ email. Move on out of your house and be warm body among thousands who oppose this bullshit. There are protests all over the conuntry so just google it or go to the radical calendar.

In December 2003 we produced a short called ‘Join the Resistance: Fall in Love’ inspired by a book called ‘Days of War, Nights of Love’ by CrimeThinc. If you haven’t read it already, by all means pick it up. Anywho, never in our wildest dreams did we think this film was going to be accepted the way it did. In the span of a year the short was dowloaded over 100,000 times via our website, bit torrent etc and impromptu screenings popped up all over the world.We are following this one with ‘Why I Love Shoplifting From Big Corporations’ also inspired by the book. We busted ass making this one, and we hope you enjoy it. This film is part of our first effort at making a compilation mixed with a ‘zine we like to call Molotov. So if you like our work, consider purchasing a copy and then making a copy to give to your friend
