Steampunk movie-making



Not to overdo the NYT citing, but that is my Sunday read, thanks to the long-suffering GF.  (They have a tendency to deliver the Star Tribune instead, which makes her a tiny bit cranky.)

Anyway, Arts & Leisure p. 8 has an interesting article about the indie movie "Bellflower," in which the first-time director, Evan Glodell, made all kinds of tweaks to the canada and crafted his a flamethrower from hardware odds and ends.  This may be a sales stunt, but so much the better.  If homemade still sells, the world still has a little homegrown life in it.  (tm)... jk...

Sundance and South by Southwest screened it.  Worth checking out.

  1. Nice of you to term it "a little bit cranky." Understated, I like that.
