Maxine is one such denizen of the future. The story begins as she steals a cable from her workplace (the factory which manufactures the devices that are capable of Matrix-like learning) and consequently inherits powerful fighting abilities from her favorite game.

Held back on Sept. 21-29, the 5th annual Arizona Underground Film Festival was a major blow-out event of extreme underground greatness. And, to top it all off, they handed out a gaggle of awards to both feature films and shorts alike.
The big winner was the Best of Fest award that went to Michael Melamedoff’s sly drama The Exhibitionists, about a bunch of hedonists gathered on New Year’s Eve. Meanwhile, the Audience Award went to the reality TV parody Ghosts With Shit Jobs by Chris McCawley, Jim Morrison, Jim Munroe and Tate Young; and Kenton Bartlett’s torture flick Missing Pieces won the Director’s Award.
Some other winners include Spencer Parsons’ Saturday Morning Massacre for Best Horror Feature, a film that while not reviewed yet on Bad Lit: The Journal of Underground Film we’ve seen it and easily declare one of the best horror movies of the last few years.

To celebrate their 5th anniversary, the Arizona Underground Film Festival has expanded to a whopping nine nights on Sept. 21-29 for a cinematic event the likes of Tucson has never seen before!
The shenanigans kick off with the opening night film The Legend of Kaspar Hauser, an experimental Italian feature directed by Davide Manuli and starring Vincent Gallo as the hero and the villain to a strange young boy, then end with the closing night film Jason M. Solomon’s nostalgic documentary 7 Years Underground: A 60′s Tale, which profiles the legendary Cafe Au Go Go in NYC that hosted such up-and-coming acts such as Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, George Carlin, Lily Tomlin and more.
In between those two films lies a twisted carnage of movie mayhem, including Spencer Parsons’ demented homage to ’70s mystery cartoons Saturday Morning Massacre; Michael Melamedoff exploitative semi-doc The Exhibitionists; Stephen Amis’ Australian WWII sci-fi...

It's 2040 and North Americans are a cheap labour pool for wealthy Asian markets. A Chinese documentary show focuses on the 'ghosts' (Cantonese slang for white people) unlucky enough to have been born into the slums of Toronto
Sci-Fi London kept the best for last. As soon as the title sequence began (by Beehive Design) I knew I was in for a treat. Ghosts With Shit Jobs, from auteur Jim Munroe – a groundbreaking creator of "indie culture alternatives" – was sheer delight.
Munroe writes graphic novels and comics (he has been compared to Philip K Dick) and makes video games and movies. His working method puts him at the cutting edge of science fiction multimedia: Ghosts With Shit Jobs had several directors, all collaborators worked for free, filming took two months and as the favours rolled in it took another three years to complete the film.
While media industry power dissipates, Munroe...
