Bruce Conner Interview

I think it makes the film much more interesting and almost more bearable to watch in a way, knowing about his money situation during the making of it. He continuously calls it a "poverty film" which I think definitely adds an extra layer to it all. Being so limited to the music and visuals that were available to him, it makes the selection of item in the film that much more interesting. It's also honestly nice to see someone making films solely just because he wanted to, not for anyone else, not to make any profit off of them but just as a solo project that others may eventually watch. Also, nice to see his reaction to people who were outraged by his works - the fact that he would just kind of mess with them makes me happy. Like he wasn't trying to make the film into anything it wasn't and if people didn't get it then they didn't get it and that would be the end of it. There's no point in fighting over it with people that wouldn't change their minds.
