The Otherworld

Film

Some believe that another world exists alongside our daily, waking reality - a shadowland of faeries, angels, and elemental spirits. There are places where these worlds are said to overlap, regions described as "window areas" by modern UFO enthusiasts. But just what are these places? Ancient sacred sites? Gateways into faerieland? Telluric and electromagnetic "hot spots"? Doorways into other dimensions, or black holes in concensus reality?

Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley's Island of Dr. Moreau

Film

If APOCALYPSE NOW hadn’t already established that going into the jungle with Marlon Brando to make a movie is a bad idea, this outrageous documentary of the dysfunctional production of the 1996 cinematic travesty THE ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU settles things. Visionary director Richard Stanley got the chance to bring his dream project to life, only to be fired by the studio just days into production. There’s long been a rumor of the disgruntled Stanley living in the jungle after being fired from the film, and then sneaking back onto the set as an extra in full creature costume.

Phil Tippett's MADGOD: Part 1

Film

MAD GOD is an experimental animated film set in a Miltonesque world of monsters, mad scientists, and warpigs. Directed by legendary visual effects and stop-motion craftsman Phil Tippett, the sets, creatures, and spirit of the film are, in every way, independent and straight from the heart. Sometimes that heart is bursting with love for the craft - other times it's macabre, punctured, and bleeding. MAD GOD is a mature film crafted from techniques & technology that spans the history of cinema and the darkly creative psyche of animation mastermind Phil Tippett.
