I Got My Bricks on Route 66

Making Bricks

Exile

2003

An early high school foray into science fiction which plays exactly as poorly as that sounds. This is the original version, although a soundtrack sub was mandated by a copyright claim. Daring, visionary sci-fi or 15 minutes of garbage? Some deterioration is evident in the audio, but trust me, it's no better pristine.

Shitbox

2001

The foundational text of the Melbourne New Wave. The film after which the legendary production company was named. Conceived for a media studies course by Thomas Formosa-Doyle and Hugh Hamilton, the original version—which has been lost to time—was edited using a primitive non-linear editing system hooked up to a CRT television. Though its juvenile nihilism is not to everyone's tastes, it is, I'm sure you'll agree, on YouTube.
