Mu-Meson July Highlights

Warts & All: The Films of Danny Plotnick Comedic Missives from The American Underground
Danny Plotnick roared into the underground film world in the 1980s.  Fueled by his love of punk and alternative culture and infected with d.i.y. spirit, he started making films that captured a similarly snarly attitude. The films on tonight’s program include Swingers’ Serenade, a titillating tale of suburban sexual malaise; I, Socky, a rogue sock monkey hits the town on a big day out; Steel Belted Romeos, a turbo-charged tale of California road rage; Skate Witches, a glimpse into the world of a 1980s female skateboard gang; Flip About Flip, a tribute to comic genius Flip Wilson.
