Before YouTube, before FaceBook, it was
DIY zines, vhs video and public access TV. And from 1991 to 1993, Kelly Hughes did the impossible: he wrote, directed and edited Heart Attack Theatre, a weekly suspense anthology for local cable television in Seattle, WA. And all in his spare time while working a full-time job. From there, he ventured out into features. The experimental film festival favorite TWIN CHEEKS: Who Killed The Homecoming King? And the camp-fastic blood feast La Cage Aux Zombies. And he shot it all on a home video camera, edited the old fashioned way without a computer in sight. In his upcoming book VIDEOTEUR: An Analog Account of a No Budget Media Mogul in the DIY 90s, Hughes exposes the indie film counterpoint to Seattle's grunge rock scene in the early 1990s. And describes his quest for artistic recognition, from B-movie Hollywood, to Baltimore, Berlin, and beyond. IN OTHER NEWS: Hughes to co-write screenplay of film-optioned memoir Indecent. Read more...
