This is where I collect things. Maybe you'd also be interested in reading a few things that I've written, or viewing some of my photos, or even some of my videos. If you're feeling especially voyeuristic, you might even want to look through my links, listening habits, and social connections.

Check out our promo for the upcoming Kabaret! You should come — the more the merrier.
Hey there, friends—
We’ve got something big coming up this month — the first ever MNKINO Kabaret! What’s a Kabaret? Well basically it’s a weekend of filmmaking and fun, and it’s happening July 23-25 at the West Bank Social Center.
We’re having an open screening at 8pm on Friday the 23rd, after which we’ll announce the Mystery Meat (theme), and you have 48 hours to make a video. We invite you to set up at the WBSC day or night during the weekend, and make the best of it.
Keeping this one short but sweet, but you can check our website for more details. Hope to see you there!

Here’s my submission for Tuesday’s MNKINO, entitled Paradise. The mystery meat for September was “transparency”, and even though I was one who suggested the theme, I found myself rather stumped.
So Monday evening rolled around, and with nothing yet to show for myself I went back to a long-dependable source of inspiration for last-minute filmmaking: The Internet Archive. More specifically, the Prelinger Archives — a massive collection of over 60,000 “ephemeral” films from decades past.
So let’s meet the cast: the starring role is filled by Looking Ahead Through Rohm & Haas Plexiglas (Part II), a 1947 film that “brings a glimpse into a wonderful tomorrow — a tomorrow where this crystal-clear plastic turns its amazing characteristics to beautifying the home.” In a strong supporting role is Heart and Circulation, a short educational film about the workings of the human circulatory system circa 1937.
There’s also a brief cameo by Here’s Looking (1939), and Caught Mapping (1940) was originally cast but didn’t make the final cut. Also of important note are musical contributions by Sun Ra and Cornelius.

Oh, hey — I never posted this video I made for the last MNKINO. The theme was ON / OFF, and the video was shot at Summerwork.
If you haven’t heard, this month (September 22) is Transparency. Also, a few updates to the MNKINO website coming soon…
