Jonathan Rosado’s 
Brutalist Couture

Brutalist Couture directed by Jonathan Rosado is a personal meditation on the American Neo-Noir genre, shot entirely on Super 8mm film. The film follows Hieronymus Rivera (Jonathan Rosado), a strong force in the New York fashion underground, who is offered the deal of a lifetime by Cecilia Meadows (Jessica Shepherd), a government official who is the head of a new secret program called DAFTCA. 

Brutalist Couture has private snuff film undertones and a soundtrack reminiscent of 60s counter-culture filled with psychedelic mind control and deranged acid washed groupies. Rosado was inspired by the 1970’s film Spaces in the Place by Sun-Ra and the classified CIA program MKUltra.

Kansas Bowling’s Cuddly Toys 

Cuddly Toys is a quasi-mockumentary about the horrors and joys of growing up as a young girl in America. Featuring over one hundred actresses and shot entirely on super 16mm film, Cuddly Toys is an ambitious, satirical, and unconventional exploitation success in the vein of early John Waters with influences ranging from the gritty, riot grrrl sensibilities of Sarah Jacobson to the tongue-in-cheek artistry of Andy Warhol’s Factory films disguised as a 1970s afterschool special about the bizarre, the gory, and traumatic secrets behind the innocence of girlhood.
