Flea markets, yard sales, in Dumpsters, at curbside. I'm a total trash-picker. Sometimes people just give him film, bags full of it.
Pierce screens it all.
I watched a really bad Bob Hope thing last night. Eight years ago, Pierce and friends Michael Johnsen and Jeff Armstrong formed Orgone Cinema. But one of the series' specialties was giving a home to film that had fallen through the cracks and which might have vanished entirely if not for some curious soul relishing the chance to pore over scratched old footage. He brings a craftily curated sampling to the May 8 installment of Film Kitchen, a monthly series for local film and video. Also featured are short films by Stephanie Keating and Ben Barnes.
