Prolific Filmmakers You Never Heard Of

Here are a couple of the most prolific filmmakers you have probably never heard of. These young artists, strapped with only their cameras and their vision, produce highly avant-garde, boundary-pushing cinema on no budgets and make them freely available in all forms to those that want to see them. There is no thought paid to standard distribution, Sundance-driven "commercializing", or "Indiewood" packaging. These guys simply create because they are compelled. Then they make them freely available to the public.



Adam Cooley: writer/director of several films. Here is what Adam says about his work:

"I make concoctions that introduce the concept of formless paradigm shifts while dabbling largely in phallocentrism and represesed dogmatic schemata. My films have been screened at a few film festivals, to positive reviews. On this page you will find downloads and information for my films. Feel free to copy my stuff and distribute in any way you see fit; put on your site, put on torrents, burn for friends, have screenings for, etc."

Ryan Trecartin: still in his twenties, this filmmaker has cranked out at least 10 films. About his work, this is what has been said:

"The combination of assaultive, nearly impenetrable avant-garde logics and equally outlandish, virtuoso uses of color, form, drama and montage produces a sublime, stream-of-consciousness effect that feels bewilderingly true to life."
