Make a Movie, Punx! DIY Filmmaking Master Class With Jon Moritsugu

Jon Moritsugu, The Godfather of Punk Cinema, defined the trashy, rough-hewn DIY aesthetic of 1990s underground filmmaking in scorched earth sendups of the nuclear family, teen angst, hero worship and even the pretension of underground filmmakers. Now, Moritsugu, three-time Best Feature award winner at the New York Underground Film Festival (Scumrock, Fame Whore, Mod Fuck Explosion) and recipient of the Jack Smith Lifetime Achievement Award from the Chicago Underground Film Festival, wants to share his low-budget production secrets with you! In this free, afternoon seminar in advance of the world theatrical premiere of his most recent release Numbskull Revolution (pictured), Moritsugu will walk you through everything you need to know to lob cinematic bombs into the cultural gears from conception to exhibition in this special interactive talk. For even more inspiration, members of the UCLA Library Punk Collective will be on hand to share information about its holdings.

Free admission. Reservations required.

Please note: This event takes place in the Charles E. Young Research Library Conference Room on the UCLA campus.

Co-presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive and UCLA Library Special Collections Punk Archive.
