how to make an art film (#14 our town)

When circumstances warrant, the " 11 Rules for the Rogue" (see chapter 1) are, ocassionaly shit -canned and 'new' rules are put into place. For this example, the film-maker-wanna-be couldn't even put together enough cash to buy an instant fun-pak picnic portable picture taker to use for a camera. When this occurs, a paper trail of somekind must be established displaying the film-makes inability to follow simple and decisive written instructions. (e.g., unable to pass a California Drivers License Examination, mailing letters and business correspondece that are always returned: undeliverable, or, being arrested for indescent trespass when he's discovered trying to purchase male prophylactics from a tampoon machine in the lady's room at a Hooters, or maybe ordering a cheeseburger at a chinese resturant, etc.) Therefore, when claims of plagiarism, copyright infringement and just plain intellectual thievary overwhelm the films (Our Town) distributors legal department, filing an "Idiot Autuer-Savant" status will have merrit and slow the oppresive wheels of justice. Such is the case with Heratio Poody's: Our Town. Not one scene contains original material. In fact, not even one shot! For that matter, we're told that there's not even one single fucking frame of original material in this historical indepentent film production. Every pea-pick'n pixel is a mixed media morphing of images and icons scanned from books or down-loaded from the internet.
Is it coincidence that the film is an allegory of the human conditions inadequecies. Regardless of our accomplishments, "Our Town" emplies, we'll never make the evolutionary cut to a higher plain of existence. The same old bagage keeps weighting us down and denying our ascension.
A splendid example of j.r. dada's Single Frame Music Video technique. (please note: the soundtrack is, at least, all original material)
