Gouvea's diametric opposite in both ambition and technique is Radiation co-director Michael Galinsky. His second MicroCineFest entry, Kukla, Fran and Adolf , combines footage from Nazi documentaries and 1960s childrens' TV shows. Depending on one's tolerance, the film is either uncomfortably funny and enlightening or in just plain rotten taste. He isn't put off by my, ah, sense of humor. Distinctions between high and low culture are as alien to them as notions of careerism.
Film is something they simply have to do.
These people are, in the best sense of the word, obsessed. We make it as cheap and easy as possible. We'll pick them up, give them rides, find them a place to crash.
