    Oscar Wilde once said: "Everything in the world is about sex, except sex. Sex is about power." There is no better way to attribute absolute, tyrannical abuse of power than that of fascism. Considering Pier Paolo Pasolini lived through the reign of Mussolini, and the types of filmmaking Pasolini utilized to challenge the cultural power structure of post-war Italy, everything was leading up to this moment, even upon his assassination on November 2nd of 1975, just weeks before the release…

    Licensing is a strange beast in the world of creativity and art. It remains a polarizing thing because we get those that lament the inability to make money or copyrighted material of the work, yet simultaneously loath public domain as an entity for its ability to bastardize beloved works.

    Hello everyone!

    This is my first short film and I’m very happy with how it turned out. Shitposting descriptions aside (thanks to internet friends), this short is inspired by the works of Stan Brakhage and Hollis Frampton. You can find this short on Vimeo by following the web link on the page or on TMDb. Have a good one!

    Edit: Added Vimeo link for convenience

    I was never a Kanye fan.

    His egotistical nature and constant attempts at conflict against others were a major turn-off for me, even if I can enjoy some of his music in isolation, away from the idiocy of the walking PR disaster. I don't even have to comment on his stupid behavior as of late that he persisted in doing and the wrong people encouraged online; that has already been well-documented and beaten to death.

    All I can really do…
