In an age where film is being dropped daily for digital, it is beyond awesome to meet filmmakers (and photographers alike) who are discarding their bits ‘n bytes for the beautiful, achievable and (practically) indestructible medium of film.
Filmmaker Victor Bonacore
One of the leaders of “Chansaw Kiss” is Victor Bonacore. I met him about a year or so ago traveling on a bus from New York to New Jersey. The small world that it is, I found that a few of the members of his filmmaking group I already knew from my own filmmaking exploits eight years earlier.

More than half way past production on their first feature film (“Blood Wings”) they’ve hit a temporary blockade….out of funds. Not an uncommon thing and certainly something I have personally experienced in years past. I would have suggested a bake sale but they came up with something much, much better. A night of live music to raise the additional funds to finish their film.
For $8. you get to hear four great bands and help make a film in the process! I’ll be heading down to the event this Saturday, multiple relic cameras bulging from my pockets.
I carefully picked the following cameras of choice to shoot the upcoming event:
The JC Penny “11” camera / Magicube Flash Cubes / Kodachrome 64 110 film
The 1970 Keystone 125x camera / Magicube Flash Cubes / Kodachrome 64 126 film
Haven’t decided yet but probably won’t be able to resist bringing my trusty Canon FTb as well.
If you’re in the New Jersey area, please do stop by.
