THE LATEST TRIUMPH FROM MATT FARLEY AND MOTERN MEDIA!
Matt Farley is the “greatest songwriter ever,” according to himself. If you have any issues with that, you can contact him on the personal phone number provided in his Twitter bio—he’d be happy to hear you out. The Massachusetts native has successfully gamed the streaming system, releasing enough music (26,000 songs and counting) to cover every possible search engine niche on Spotify. This accomplishment may have been enough to garner him a recent profile in the New York Times. But equally impressive as the quantity of his musical output is the quality of the films he makes in his spare time.
Along with his friend Charles Roxburgh, Farley began making feature-length movies in college for budgets of zero dollars. Now in their 40s, they have graduated to making movies for several thousand dollars. Under the curtain title of Motern Media, Farley and Roxburgh have remained overwhelmingly underground for the past 25 years. But their eccentric work has begun to swim to the surface through word of mouth. Their films are absurd, uniquely told narratives made with the time, skills, and resources available—often stretched to their furthest limits. Imbued with creative spirit, “for the love of the game” mentality, and almost entirely non-actor casts plucked from family and friends, Motern films are free from typically held filmmaking ideals and produce a completely singular means of storytelling and filmmaking. Whether it’s through B-movie homage, absurd auto-fiction, heartwarming fantasy, or brooding drama, Farley and Roxburgh do things in movies that you have never seen before.
Now the Beacon is proud to present the West Coast premiere of their latest creation, EVIL PUDDLE. What can we tell you about EVIL PUDDLE? Only this: Ancient Evil is pooling at your feet!
