Douglas Burgdorff makes films you can’t watch in front of your parents or at work, but their hypnotic, messed up beauty make them the guiltiest of morish viewing pleasures. I spoke to Doug about shaming the family name and asking strangers to follow him into the woods.
My brother’s walking around in the snow, barefoot with bloody Hanes underwear & I was like, “OK, this is where I feel comfortable. Now I’m happy.”

MarBelle has a strange compulsion to watch as many films as he can get his hands on and find jobs that give him a legitimate excuse to drill filmmakers about their work. Directors Notes is the latest incarnation of this disorder and so much cheaper than film school. Twitter: @MarBelle
