Now in the CineZone: MATCH FLICK by Ilya Chaiken

Match Flick
(1996 Director Ilya Chaiken, 32 mins)
starring Bridget Evans & Jim Abrasion
16 mm cinematography by Gordon Chou

A classic Girl meets Boy meets French New Wave meets Murnau story, with lots of incidental vomit.

NOTES

From Fessenden: Ilya Chaiken is one of my Glass Eye Pix favorite directors. She cast me opposite Eleanor Hutchins in MARGARITA HAPPY HOUR a film produced by Glass Eye Comrades Michael Ellenbogen (Glass Eye Consigliere 1991-1998) and Susan Leber (producer, THE ROOST). Ilya also directed LIBERTY KID for GEP and went on to direct web series THE UNLOVEABLES starring Hutchins and Kevin Corrigan and featuring Fessenden. Chaiken is currently working on a doc about the iconic band The Lunachicks.

The MATCH FLICK backstory from Chaiken – It was 1995, I had a tiny grant to make a film, but I had writer’s block and was running out of time before my baby was born. But sticking my pal Bridget in this black pixie wig was all the Godardian inspiration I needed. So at 8 months pregnant with a handful of storyboards, I ran around with DP Gordon Chou, Bridget and Jim, and shot 16mm MOS. Then I borrowed a friend’s Steenbeck to edit the film. By the time I finished editing, my kid was a year old, digital filmmaking had begun to emerge, and I couldn’t get my friend to take the Steenbeck back out of my apartment. Bridget and Jim, by the way, unlike their tortured characters, are still a happy couple.

Players anticipate the management of eight young grown-ups who should create on account of Blackwood Mountain if their lives are jeopardized. The sport highlights a butterfly effect frame where players need to settle on conclusions that may alter the story. Each playable character can survive or kick the bucket, determined by the choices made. Players investigate the ground from a third-individual perspective and detect intimations that can help unravel the key.

Now In The CineZone: THE TROUBLE WITH DAD by Glenn McQuaid

The Trouble With Dad
(2021, Dir. Glenn McQuaid, 18 mins)Produced by Jenn Wexler. Cinematography by Gordon Arkenberg. Starring Peter B. Rogan, Bridget Dolan and Clay McLeod Chapman.

An elderly man looks for his dog, Charlie, while his daughter tries to move him out of the house.

Part of Chilling Visions: 5 STATES OF FEAR, a horror anthology which includes 5 short films including THE CAREGIVER by GEP alum Graham Reznick.

NOTES
Glenn McQuaid (I SELL THE DEAD, V/H/S) directs THE TROUBLE WITH DAD for a Chiller TV anthology film, written by McQuaid and frequent co-writer Clay McLeod Chapman (who also acts in the film). Cinematography by regular Graham Reznick D.P. Gordon Arkenberg who also shot Fessenden’s BENEATH, and produced for Glass Eye Pix by Jenn Wexler. Chris Skotchdopole was AD on the picture.

McQuaid wanted to depict the horror of encroaching Alzheimer’s in an aging man living alone and increasingly mistrusting his own understanding of reality and his opportunistic family members. McQuaid pays tribute to his own father’s struggle with the debilitating condition. The tale concludes with a spectacular set piece ripped from the pulpy EC COMICS that have influenced so much of McQuaid’s work, designed by Shiloh Kidd, art director on BENEATH.

The film was shot at Glen Atty which has been featured in many Glass Eye Pix films, including WENDIGO and BITTER FEAST.
