    PROSTRATE CONSTANTLY: in review

    Here's a recording of the retrospective I put together for my anime music videos. I'm incredibly grateful to everyone who's been apart of this wild lil journey, and I really hope some of what I say and present in this can translate to people.

    A Woman Under the Influence

    ★★★★★

    This is not about a woman with "mental illness". This is about a woman who does certain things out of love and enthusiasm, but does so outside social norms. This is about a man who does certain things out of confusion and frustration, but whose actions have already been seen and understood in the wider culture.

    Buffalo '66

    ★★★★★

    I got my hands on the "First Very Rough Draft" of the Buffalo '66 screenplay, which is likely the one first dictated by Gallo and typed up by Alison Bagnall. I've scanned and uploaded it here if you're interested: archive.org/details/buffalo-66-script
