Influences [1][2][3]

No wave cinema was an underground filmmaking movement that flourished on the Lower East Side of New York City[4] from about 1976 to 1985. Associated with (and partially sponsored by) the artists’ group Collaborative Projects,[5] no wave cinema was a stripped-down style of guerrilla filmmaking that emphasized dark edgy mood and unrehearsed immediacy above many other artistic concerns – similar to the parallel no wave music movement in its raw and rapid style.[6]
