THE TARGET SHOOTS FIRST
Featuring a post screening Q&A with THE TARGET SHOOTS FIRST director Chris Wilcha & HEAVY METAL PARKING LOT director Jeff Krulik
Christopher Wilcha’s fascinating feature-length video reminds us how seldom we’re allowed to see certain businesses operating from the inside. Wilcha, a 22-year-old college graduate and alternative-rock enthusiast, was hired by the Columbia Record and Tape Club—apparently as a fluke—to help launch a whole new niche-marketing division, which brought him face-to-face with the contradictory meanings of the term ‘alternative’ once it’s been embraced by the mass market. He brought his video camera to work every day, and what emerge are selective glimpses of—and thoughtful reflections on—his extended stint with the company.

HEAVY METAL PARKING LOT
In 1986, John Heyn and Jeff Krulik brought a public access camera to a Judas Priest concert parking lot and interviewed fans. The resulting documentary short Heavy Metal Parking Lot grew into a tape trading cult sensation that we're still talking about today.
Dir. John Heyn & Jeff Krulik, 16min, 1986, USA
