I have written for OtherZine since 2000. OtherZine is the online magazine of Other Cinema, a venue for experimental film, video and performance in San Francisco run by filmmaker Craig Baldwin. The following links will take you to the OtherZine site, where you will find my periodic column, as well as several interviews with contemporary filmmakers.

These links will open in separate browser windows.

• Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show: or, Well, What Would Jesus Buy?
  From OtherZine vol. 14. Jesus? He's not buying it. And neither should you.

• Darkon
  From OtherZine vol. 11. Dressing up in costumes, playing serious games.
  
  
• Lars von Trier
  From OtherZine vol. 8. Unwrapping the enigma: a review of Jack Stevenson's book on the provocative filmmaker.
  
  
• Interview with Chris Strompolos
  From OtherZine vol. 7. Star of the fanfilm cult classic, Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation, Chris Strompolos not only works in film, he grew up inside it. The Adaptation is a shot-by-shot recreation of the Spielberg film, that took Chris and his friends from age 12 to 18 to complete. Now in his thirties and a filmmaker, here he discusses his unique perspective on a life in film from the inside out.
  
  
• Interview with Keith Sanborn
  From OtherZine vol. 5. Keith Sanborn specializes in the detournement of images we only think we know. Infused with humor, mystery, conspiracy, and sex, Sanborn's work is in turn wise, weird, and wanton. His For the Birds (2000) was selected for inclusion in the 2002 Whitney Biennial.
  
  
• Interview with Thad Povey
  From OtherZine vol. 2. Thad Povey, alone and in collaboration, spins tall tales of adventure, beauty, and archival footage into something that's not just for breakfast anymore. With the Scratch Film Junkies, he hand-alters film, giving new meaning to the term 'digital.' A latter-day renaissance man, Povey's interests encompass rockets, archaeology, news media, and the anarchy of accordions, to name only a few.
