This week consecrates a major turn in the 50-year career of Alan Rudolph, which began as an assistant to and screenwriter for Robert Altman before transitioning into decades writing and directing original, romantic, occasionally unnerving American cinema at a time parallel to (if never quite reaching the fame or acclaim of) Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, Brian De Palma, Francis Ford Coppola, Terrence Malick, and David Lynch. The turn is not a new film, but Criterion anointing 1984's Choose Me, perhaps the best entry point into his corpus, with a 4K release that marks an astonishing restoration of both the film itself and its long-neglected reputation. For this release Nick Newman had the fortune of speaking with Rudolph in an hour-long conversation that detailed Choose Me's creation, how his films both before and after are now defined by it, and honest perspectives on a career just slightly outside the celebrity-auteur spotlight.
Seven films as we trudge through this chilly February - It's My Turn, Devil in the Flesh, Trick (1999), Paddington In Peru, Singles (1992), Choose Me, and Wicked (2024).
Choose me!! That's what this episode is telling you in your feed right now, press play, press the little button and listen to me!! We're back from a short break, joined by our friend Esmé Holden, a wonderful film writer and cool person all around to discuss Alan Rudolph's biggest independent film CHOOSE ME. We get into the film's many playful depictions genre, artifice, and mood; its many wonderful characters and how they intermingle within the sparse Rudolphian spaces. And unfortunately about halfway through we also learn about the passing of David Lynch, which was a real bummer, and we got it aaaall on tape! Listen in, and enjoy this episode because it's a "good one".

If you've ever wanted to hear a movie podcast tell you that you "have an ethical and spiritual imperative to seek out better films...you're in the right place!Other topics include the reign of filmmaker Alan Rudolph, how autonomous vehicles are definitely surveiling you, whether Doechii will be at the Met Gala, and our eager anticipation of Den of Thieves 2: Pantera.....Our theme song is "Mirror" by Chris Fish.
The indie filmmaker Alan Rudolph ("Choose Me", "Trouble in Mind") makes his first appearance on the podcast. His 1999 film, originally written for his mentor Bob Altman to direct but ended up in his hands some years later. That film is"Breakfast of Champions" and, after 25 years, is returning to theaters. The film was adapted from the unadaptable novel by Kurt Vonnegut, and stars Bruce Willis and Albert Finney. In this special conversation, Rudolph reflects on his year as Altman's assistant director and his career at large. "Breakfast of Champions" tells the story of a fictional town in the mid west that is home to a group of idiosyncratic and slightly neurotic characters. Dwayne Hoover is a wealthy car dealership owner that's on the brink of suicide and is losing touch with reality. https://youtu.be/SaOQbpBJ6t0 Carrie Rickey is a film journalist and author. Her new book is a biography of the French New Wave filmmaker Agnès Varda called "A Complicated Passion: The Life and Work of Agnès Varda" (W.W. Norton, 2024). Over the course of her sixty-five-year career, the longest of any female filmmaker, Agnès Varda (1928–2019) wrote and directed some of the most acclaimed films of her era, from her tour de force "Cléo from 5 to 7" (1962), a classic of modernist cinema, to the beloved documentary "The Gleaners and I" (2000) four decades later. She helped to define the French New Wave, inspired an entire generation of filmmakers, and was recognized with major awards at the Cannes, Berlin, and Venice Film Festivals, as well as an honorary Oscar at the Academy Awards. In this lively biography, former Philadelphia Inquirer film critic Carrie Rickey explores the complicated passions that informed Varda's charmed life and indelible work. Rickey traces Varda's three remarkable careers—as still photographer, as filmmaker, and as installation artist. She explains how Varda was a pioneer in blurring the lines between documentary and fiction, using the latest digital technology and carving a path for women in the movie industry. She demonstrates how Varda was years ahead of her time in addressing sexism, abortion, labor exploitation, immigrant rights, and race relations with candor and incisiveness. https://youtu.be/DwECtUfablw

Get Ready! He's Coming Soon David Eells 6/28/23 (audio) A Great Shifting And Shaking Tianna Fire 6/21/23 (David's notes in red) In my dream, we had all been talking about and discussing the plagues and destruction coming up on the earth, but it seemed not yet, but far away. But suddenly within an hour, God tipped the entire earth upside down. There were earthquakes, tsunamis, cyclones all around the globe in places that they never thought could happen. All the influential places were now destroyed and devastated, and everything in the world as we know it stopped. Isa 13:13 Therefore I will make the heavens to tremble, and the earth shall be shaken out of its place, in the wrath of Jehovah of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger. Hag 2:6-7 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; 7 and I will shake all nations; and the precious things of all nations shall come; and I will fill this house with glory, saith Jehovah of hosts. (“Things” here is not in the original. Heb is the “desire” of all nations shall come. God's people in all nations are waiting for the coming of the Lord. And infilling of glory in His temple is Himself. And He is coming in the firstfruits temple of the Man-child.) Hag 2:20-23 And the word of Jehovah came the second time unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying, 21 Speak to Zerubbabel, (Representing the resurrected Man-child) governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth; 22 and I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms; and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother. (All those chasing the people of God to bring them into captivity, like the faction will be judged. The Red Sea of God's judgment is near. A faction in the faction.) 23 In that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith Jehovah, and will make thee as a signet; for I have chosen thee, saith Jehovah of hosts. (A signet is a sign of authority like the ring of authority given to Man-child types, Mordecai, Joseph, and Zerubbabel.) Luk 21:11 and there shall be great earthquakes, and in divers places famines and pestilences; and there shall be terrors and great signs from heaven. Isa 64:1-3 ASV Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might quake at thy presence, 2 as when fire kindleth the brushwood, and the fire causeth the waters to boil; to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence! 3 When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains quaked at thy presence. (Note to consider: You will notice that the Lord comes in the midst of earthquakes and our dreams show they are the worst, dividing the land. The Lord has said he is coming very quickly and Isaiah showed he will judge the Edomite faction first. We also have quite a few dreams that he will use the DS and their plague to kill the factious. So looking around I don't see these signs at the moment and I suspect it will not be on the 1st of July, but soon.) Isa 62:11 Behold, Jehovah hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him. Probably as a type and a warning to fear not the things to come Tianna had this experience for those who see this come.) Fear tried to jump on me, and I cast it straight off (get thee hence satan!) as I knew God is in control of this, even though I wasn't' expecting this would happen so suddenly. I knew I could only trust God and His Word and promises. I had to stay in His peace and joy, to be the light for everyone else around me. Because I knew the Truth of the Word, I had to stay strong in Christ for everyone else. (We are to be an example and ambassador for His Kingdom.) It was like the earth had been tipped on its side. (Planet X is reputed to take our south pole and pull it towards it when passing by. This would make opportunities for things and people to fall in cracks/holes all over the earth when the great earthquakes come around the world as it faces P-X.) It tipped over a giant pit, and many things quickly fell into the hole, but other things were slowly sliding into the hole, but those in Christ in us were upright and couldn't be moved and those that grabbed onto us (Christ in us) were kept from falling in. (He saves the righteous.) (But this is also a “spiritual shaking” where everything will change for those in the world with many receiving a fear of the Lord which is the beginning of wisdom. Things will also change for those abiding in Christ, believing to be chosen to be in the Bride when the latter rain anointing of the Man-child ministry begins with Rev 6 judgments.) (The judgements coming upon the world will surprise those that are unprepared, but those living in Jesus are expecting this and they are prepared.) NENT Rev 16:15 (Lo, I come as a thief. Blessed who watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. NENT Mat 24:42-51 Watch therefore: for ye know not what day your Lord cometh. 43 But know this, that if the house-master had known what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be dug through. 44 Therefore be YE also ready; for in an hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh. 45 Who then is the faithful and wise bondman, whom the lord hath set over his household, to give them their food in season? 46 Blessed that bondman whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 47 Amen I say unto you, that he will set him over all he hath. 48 But if that evil bondman shall say in his heart, My lord tarrieth; 49 and shall begin to beat his fellow-bondmen, and shall eat and drink with the drunken; 50 the lord of that bondman shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an hour when he knoweth not, 51 and shall severely scourge him, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth. 1Th 5:2-8 For yourselves know perfectly that the Lord's day cometh as a thief at night. 3 But when they are saying, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as the travail upon the one with child; and they shall in no wise escape. (There are two, Day of the Lord judgments one smaller one before the tribulation at the end of the Brides testing by the factious to take them down at a Red Sea experience. Then a larger one at the end of the tribulation to judge those who tested the Church.) 4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day should overtake you as thieves, 5 for ye are all sons of light, and sons of day: we are not of night, nor of darkness; 6 so then let us not sleep, as the rest, but let us watch and be sober. 7 For who sleep sleep at night; and who are drunken are drunken at night. 8 But let us, since we are of the day, be sober, putting on a breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, salvation's hope. Hold Onto Jesus Anonymous 5/20/23 (David's notes in red) I was on a giant mountain, and I was very high up, and the air was fresh and clean. The sun was warm and there was a beautiful view. On the right side, not far from an edge, Jesus was hanging from a cross, and he had much blood on him. All I wanted to do was hold on to him and hug him. So I climbed up and held onto him as he hung on the cross and I didn't want to do anything else. (The old man needs to stay on the cross.) I stayed there with him and sometimes the breeze would get so very cold, but I didn't want to leave. (The cold breeze represents attacks from the enemy, and trials and tribulations that we must endure. When we love Jesus, we never want to leave him, and we never want to go back to the ways of the world, or the old man.) Jesus' warmth strengthened me. The wind would get so strong, and it almost blew me off, but I held on tightly. I did not want to come down or let go, I only wanted to hug Jesus. Gal 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ liveth in me: and that life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me. Rom 6:4-7 We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection; 6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin; 7 for he that hath died is justified from sin. A sister then came and climbed up and held onto Jesus with me. But then the wind became so very strong, and she slipped and almost fell to the area near the cliff, but I was able to grab her hand before she fell. I held onto her tight, not wanting her to fall and I used the strength of my right hand, while still holding onto Jesus, to pull her back up. She was able to grab onto the cross and then onto Jesus and the two of us were again hugging and holding onto Jesus. (Jesus through us gives grace and strength to help each other to hold onto Him.) (Psa 73:23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: Thou hast holden my right hand.) Col 3:12-15 Put on therefore, as God's elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering; 13 forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man have a complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you, so also do ye: 14 and above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness. 15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to the which also ye were called in one body; and be ye thankful. 2Co 1:4-5 who comforteth us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort them that are in any affliction, through the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. 5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound unto us, even so our comfort also aboundeth through Christ. Five Senses Marie Kelton 5/20/23 (David's notes in red) During the meeting I had a vision of the inside of a cave. I saw my spirit man drag in five black beings into the cave, one by one. I knew that the five black beings were dead. (Representing the five senses of the natural man that are submitted to darkness due to the carnal nature but must be overcome by the spirit-man to take our spiritual land from the enemies. The Bride will have overcome the 5 senses.) This text came to mind: Jos 10:17 ASV And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings (The five carnal senses that rule the old mans life) are found, hidden in the cave (Our mouth) at Makkedah. 18 And Joshua said, Roll great stones unto the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to keep them: (The stones of the Word must restrain them from speaking.) …22 Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forth those five kings unto me out of the cave. (These senses must be put to death to conquer our promised land of this nature and life.) 23 And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto him out of the cave …24 …Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the chiefs of the men of war that went with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them. (So that they are not permitted to speak out of the mouth.) 25 And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed; be strong and of good courage: for thus shall Jehovah do to all your enemies against whom ye fight. 26 And afterward Joshua smote them, and put them to death, and hanged them on five trees: (The cross took care of this problem: Rom 6:6-12 ASV knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin; 7 for he that hath died is justified from sin. 8 But if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him; …11 Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus. 12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey the lusts thereof: Gold Mist Tianna Fire 6/19/23 (David's notes in red) I saw the local and outreach brethren all gathered together in a circle in unity. They all had this gold light radiating from each of them and all around and in between them and in the circle. The glow also was like mist around them except they were all clearly visible and part of the gold mist. (This gold represents the very valuable life of Christ given to us through the promises.) Every person had their arms raised in the air praising and thanking God and they were all ascending higher and higher, all together at the same time and in unity. The glow got bright and bright the higher they got and the greater God's presence got. I loved how everyone was ascending together, as one in unity rather than each ascending at a different time. (We are ONE.) The Greater Anointing Is Coming Amos Scaggs 6/03/2007 (David's notes in red) The separation is coming. I saw a new bottle of HD (high detergent) oil opened and the top portion poured out on the ground, as if to skim off the impurities. The major portion of it was to be poured in the oil tank where it belongs. "HD" or Harley Davidson dominated the 1/2-mile dirt track races in my time. The HD oil was poured in for the final run to win the race. I was a Harley rider, although I rode the fast Japanese bikes afterward. God communicates to us in a fashion so we can understand. Note from David: I guess the small amount of oil poured on the earth is for the earthly early rain Christians and the great amount poured in the engine is for the anointed man-child at the first, and then to lead the body in the same anointing to win the race to the end. The small amount on the ground could be the early rain Christians who now are very earthly while the greater amount for the coming days could be the early and latter rain Christians under the Man-child reformers. Hag_2:9 The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, saith Jehovah of hosts; and in this place will I give peace, saith Jehovah of hosts. High Detergent oil is for cleaning up engines, too. Pour the whole bottle on me, Lord! Need to get this engine running. :o) The Man-Child Ministry Manifests Tianna Fire 6/22/23 (David's notes in red) I saw Jesus in a dark city in a dark world with demons everywhere, and He was the height of a normal man. I felt that Jesus was representing all of us together as one. (The first fruits to come into the image of Jesus in these days are the Corporate Body of the Man-Child but through the revival they bring many will join them.) In maybe a millisecond He grew so tall; taller than a skyscraper and every single demon was in extreme fear and terror shaking and trembling, they were frozen and couldn't move from fear as they all knew, and Jesus knew their time was done! NENT Php 2:10-11 that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to God the Father's glory. Our Protector Marie Kelton 5/12/23 (David's notes in red) During the meeting, I had an open vision of the Lord. The Lord was huge and really tall (This represents the Corporate Body of the Man-Child, who is quickly joined by the Bride, and then later the true Church.) I was only able to see the bottom of His linen garment and the sandals on His feet. I saw the Lord walking and as He walked, the floor cracked in front of Him. The cracks on floor looked like fault line cracks. I then heard a voice say, “When He walked, the earth trembled." Psa 68:8 The earth trembled, The heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God: Yon Sinai trembled at the presence of God, the God of Israel. Psa 77:18 The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind; The lightnings lightened the world: The earth trembled and shook. Psa 114:7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob. Supper With Jesus Tianna Fire 6/22/23 (David's notes in red) I saw the local and UBM brethren, all together sitting around a rectangular table for a meal. They hadn't yet eaten, but all the food was already prepared. Jesus was sitting at the very far end of the table at the head, (Our Lord and King's position) and He was glowing and so much brighter and more pure than white. (The Son shines so brightly!) He was speaking with everyone and instructing them with love and compassion, but I don't know what He was saying. But I knew that He was there to eat with all of us so we will be energized and ready for what He wants us to do next. (At His return in the Man-child body to lead His people through the wilderness tribulation greater works will be done. This is the 7 day Marriage Feast, the last 7 years on earth before going home to Heaven to the Marriage Supper.) Luk 22:14-18 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the apostles with him. 15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: 16 for I say unto you, I shall not eat it, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. 17 And he received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: 18 for I say unto you, I shall not drink from henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. Instant Deliverance Anonymous 6/24/23 (David's notes in red) I saw us all in a refuge, and there was utter chaos all around the world. It was only Jesus in all of The Brethren, there were no devils there, because they could not hide in anyone's thoughts or flesh, because the light and spirit of Christ was so powerful and strong. There were no more half-truths and half-lies. No more sometimes manifesting Jesus and sometimes not. It was either fully Jesus or fully the devil on earth. The new believers that got the revelation of Christ, when they came to Jesus and to the refuge, they would have instant deliverance, from being in the presence of Jesus. The demons in anyone were NOT be able to hide. There was a complete separating in soul and body. When someone got the revelation of Jesus, they grew so quick and faster than we have ever seen. If it was someone's will to be only Jesus, they would have it and all demons would go without a fight. Jesus walked down the street (in a vessel) and it caused demonized people to flee, they could not be in His presence; they feared and trembled. Those that saw the light and those that God gave grace to come to Him, would see the light and run to it, and with them in agreement with the Word, the devils will have to flee as soon as they repented. The presence was so strong that no person, factious person, or someone that was against The Word was able to stay around Brethren, because all the devils were completely driven away. Jesus in everyone saw all the spirits in each person, and there was no deception because Jesus saw all lies, because Jesus is only Truth. The discernment was in black and white, nothing was hidden, everything was in the light. It was instantaneous deliverances and complete healing for individuals, and multiple people in great numbers. Faith was poured out greater than ever, and people would believe things we never thought were possible. The enemy was completely exposed and literally couldn't even hide, because of how great the light of Jesus was. People were gathered in perfectly to the refuge and only The Lord would ordain who was there, it was orchestrated with miracles and wonders. (For example, someone in Africa wakes up and walks out of their shack, and they realize they aren't even in African anymore, and they look behind them and the shack is gone because they got translated to the refuge. A man driving with his family and the direction was to turn left but he just turned right instead and they just ended up at the refuge.) Do You Really Want Me? Anonymous 6/24/23 (David's notes in red) “The spiritual and physical are merging together as one, there is no fence sitting. What someone is in the spiritual, will completely manifest in the physical, there is no hiding. The devils will manifest through their vessels stronger than ever, and Jesus in His vessels will manifest greater than ever. The war of Heaven and hell are appearing together on earth in the physical. Every soul will be forced to choose one. (NENT Rev 12:7-12 And war was in the heaven: Michael and his angels going to war with the dragon; and the dragon warred and his angels; 8 and he prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in the heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who deceiveth of the whole inhabited earth; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him. 10 And I heard a great voice in the heaven, saying, Now is the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom, become our God's, and the authority is become his Christ's: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accuseth them before our God day and night. 11 And THEY overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony; and they loved not their life even unto death. 12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and ye that tabernacle in them. Woe for the earth and the sea, because the devil is gone down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short season.) Do not fear. My son, I have not given you a spirit of fear but power love and sound mind. I am Love, accept my love and reject rejection. You are chosen for this time; you have been chosen as a vessel for My Love to flow through. Heaven will be here through you. There is nothing any of you can do yourself, it is all Me and My grace, just rest in My presence and believe Me and I will manifest it all. I have already done all, all you need to do is rest. Meditate on Me, keep your mind on Me, keep your body focused on Me. When you don't feel My Love and Peace, stop everything and think and look to Me. Choose Me and My Holy Presence every moment. When you go out of Me come back to Me. Everyone with Me right now is 100% in My presence, and there is no going back and forth out of Me. All of Me in you is what I want. It is not your desires; it is My desire that I gave to you. I want to manifest through you more than you want Me too. I want to use you for My Glory and My Praise. I need vessels that will choose Me and My ways every moment, I am bringing Heaven here on earth and it is already here I am here now and I will increase to the extent that you allow Me. I will do what you allow Me to do. Forget ALL worldly desires and distractions, I can fill your stomach without food, I give you energy without sleep, I am beyond anything you see and understand in the physical, and I will do greater works than you can imagine. Recognize the demons of rejection, unworthiness as lies and pure evil. Rejection and unworthiness are what the demons will experience for eternity. They want to take you with them. But I have chosen you, I have bought you with My Sons Blood. I have cleaned you and already prepared you for Me to manifest through you, everything is My works, I planned and wrote all before the world's foundation, I AM and everything is about Me. So many of you are battling these demons of rejection, self-rejection, pride and other lies. The demons are tricking you to think that you are separated from Me, but you are not. You are closer to Me than you can comprehend. Stop believing these lies. Stop being jealous and envious of your brethren. All and everything are from Me. See Me behind ALL vessels, good and evil. It is Me in your brethren. It is ALL me and everything IS my Grace. Each of you are created for a specific purpose and there is no other vessel that can be used for the same purpose you were created for. Each of you are completely unique and there is no other person in existence like you. Let go of pride, ALL is Me! There is no pride in Heaven. Lucifer is without Me because of his pride, reject it. I Am and ALL is My will now and forever and I Am all that will ever be. No soul with Me right now has pride with them. No soul with Me has rejection or jealousy or anything evil here with them. These ARE devils and you need to recognize them and let them go. Rejection is a giant demon, and the biggest lie, and it only wants you to feel rejected because it is rejected by Me. I have not rejected you I have known you before existence and I knew all you will go through; I wrote your entire life and you are already here with Me and your Brethren now for eternity. What you know as of time and the physical realm is coming to a close and you will be walking in the spiritual. Heaven is here through you and it is going to manifest in full. Remember everything IS My Grace. Ask me for humility, it is a gift from Me. Ask Me for any and all your needs little and big, you have not because you ask not. Ask me and believe and YOU WILL receive. I am all. I want to give you more than you know but I won't give it to you unless it is what you want. Lucifer wanted pride so he was given pride and the consequences of it. Those with Me wanted to be 1 with Me and they are now here with Me. What you want you will receive as I don't give you what you don't want; I give you what you want. You have free will and I will not force My love on you, I will not force you to be with me now and for eternity. That is up to you. Do you really want Me to manifest through you? Do you really want to let go of everything that isn't Holy? Do you really want My pure Holy Love and Spirit in full? Do you want the 100% manifestation of My Son in all aspects of your existence including the physical? Ask Me and believe and you WILL receive, not for yourself, but for Me. It is for My Glory, My praise, My honor, I am all and through all and in all, now and forever and it is ALL for Me. I Am that I Am. 2Co 4:11 For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh. Completely All Anonymous 06/22/23 (David's notes in red) When I had this experience, everything I wrote I felt and saw as if it had fully manifested, and it was so real and alive and true and I DESIRED, that I could have stayed in this experience. It was maybe like 10-30 seconds of seeing and feeling all of this, and it was so real and I am so excited for us all to have this connection with God every moment, no matter what is going on, and to have His Holy connection with each other and being one together, without spot or blemish. I was praying in tongues, and I saw that very soon we are all going to be so connected to God (we already are but it will physically manifest), that we will hear His voice extremely clear every moment, and we know it is Him without doubt and unbelief. That we will constantly be speaking to Him back and forth, more than we speak to any human, when awake and asleep our soul will be communing with Him just as The Holy Spirit does. Eph 3:18 may be strong to apprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled unto all the fulness of God. The flesh will be so suppressed and submissive to The Holy Spirit, and we will be so in tune with God, we know and obey what He wants with extreme joy in every moment, without complaint and without the flesh trying to stop us. We will have such boldness to have Him speak through us, with no fear of man, or fear of rejection (These things that try to hinder us from being and living as Jesus won't even try to hinder us anymore.) We will know 100% that He is in us, and all around us and we ARE one with Him (Him literally here in this physical flesh and the flesh in agreement without hindrance.) Eph_3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. That we would know and be, living and breathing His Word, not from our own works and in His strength but from His Spirit and Grace in our soul. Every second we will know it is His Grace and we will rest beyond understanding, because we are in Him and Him in us no matter what is going on around us, (Our soul will be fully content with this and nothing can stop it and the flesh will submit.) We will know Jesus' authority in us over the enemy, and the enemy will flee with one word or thought, because it's just Jesus in us. No more struggling with the flesh, but just being in Him. 1Co_15:28 And when all things have been subjected unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subjected to him that did subject all things unto him, that God may be all in all. We can constantly freely praise and worship Him every moment with NO temptation to complain, murmur or doubt. Our soul is completely free to praise as The Holy Spirit desires and free to worship God with our body in the physical- being submitted to doing ALL God wants. All of this while on earth in this physical body; Alive in Christ. I saw that The Brethren will be in complete unity, because of Jesus, and the enemy won't be able to get in the way of oneness in Christ. No jealousy, no pride, no rejection, no battles of the flesh; but pure Holy Love one to another, loving each other as we love our self, and serving each other as Christ serves. We will be one with no separation, no superiority, equal together in Christ. All different members, but all one body working together in unity, like the human body. So connected, it's as if we are reading each other's mind, and in agreement in our minds and souls and spirit, and the flesh is submitted. That everything flows perfectly because we all are constantly connected and in tune with God (and in tune with each other.) That our Faith is complete with God, that we have not even a tiny doubt, and we know that what we ask, we immediately receive because it's Christ in us. That which we command and speak into the physical, is immediately manifested, because Jesus in us is communing with Father every second. The enemy doesn't even try his normal tactics of unclean thoughts and feelings, because he knows we won't even accept or look at it. I knew that we will see and experience things we can't even imagine right now, but it is all for God's glory and it will be only Jesus in us. We can't do anything to make this happen, but have faith in His grace to do it through us for His Glory. EVERYTHING IS for Him! Now and forever! 2Co 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit. New Training Level Samuel Fire 06/22/23 (David's notes in red) “You are now in a new level of training. This is an exercise of the tests and application of My Word. Speak and hold to the miracles I have promised! Many are showing others who are younger in the walk to have a go when in doubt or little experience. See how one who prays and praises in faith, can move a miracle. Then others will add their belief and suddenly, the power multiplies many times more and spreads beyond even the first person who prayed. The effects go to areas and new heights where no one had even thought. I am beyond the imagination or impossibility. You (all) are My vessel. I will flow through you all as a Holy Army!” I landed on: ‘testifying' in NENT 1Th 2:11-12 as ye know how we were exhorting you, each of you, as a father his own children, and encouraging, and testifying, 12 that ye should walk worthily of the God that calleth you into his own kingdom and glory.

Beasts to Bring in the Harvest (3) (Audio) David Eells - 3/8/23 Seek Me NOW! Tiannah Fire - 1/18/23 I started feeling Gods presence and had this urge to write down what was coming to me in the Spirit so I did. “I Am wanting vessels who want to remain until the end, to go through all that is about to come on the world, in My peace, love, and My Joy, manifesting and witnessing to the world of My Son in His Power and Glory and Might. This world is desperate for My Son, and My Son is who they are going to get. All alive on the earth will be given the choice to reject or accept Me before everything is destroyed. All that will remain is My Spirit, everything else will be destroyed and already is, for it is about to manifest. The time is now to seek Me with everything that you are, with your whole mind and strength. You are to be constantly focusing on Me; setting your mind on things above and not on things on the earth. I Am the only satisfaction and Glory. I want to commune with you. I desire you to be one with My Son. I have already done it all, but You need to agree with Me and go along with what I have already prepared. Your life is for Me. Your mind, soul, spirit and body were created for Me and My Glory. This world and everything in it were created for Me to express my love and everlasting grace. I Am everything good and there is nothing but Me. (1Co. 15:27-28 For, He put all things in subjection under his feet. But when he saith, All things are put in subjection, it is evident that he is excepted who did subject all things unto him. 28 And when all things have been subjected unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subjected to him that did subject all things unto him, that God may be all in all.) The time is coming and already is here. I Am here and I am coming. I Am increasing Myself in those who want Me. I want you more than you know, and more than you could ever want me. I want to grow you as quickly as you will allow Me Stop thinking about and spending your time on physical things. I provide ALL your needs. Your spiritual needs are greater than your physical [needs]. Seek spiritual food not physical. You are blessed when in My presence and praising Me. Sacrificing yourself brings the greatest glory. I Am life. Awaken to Me. I live in you and through you. Focus on Me. Remain steadfast and hold on to Me till the end. I Am coming and have already come. (Because He doesn't live in time.) Every second is another moment closer to eternity. Every second focused on Me has an increase of Me in you. Seek Me. I am closer than your breath and I desire to increase. Allow Me. I know you more than you know yourself. I love you more than you can comprehend but choose Me in full. I want your whole heart, your whole strength and might. Without Me you can do nothing. With Me, we together can and will do all things, above what your carnal [mind] can understand. Choose Me. Focus on Me NOW and forever. If You don't spend your time with Me now, how will you spend your time with Me for Eternity? If you don't serve Me and do My will now, how will You serve Me for Eternity? I choose you and want you here with me in full, not in part. Come to Me for your daily bread. Every moment that goes by that you aren't communing with Me are moments missed of My increase and My spiritual blessings. Only I can satisfy your soul. Only I can make you breathe and your heart to beat. I Am. Seek me NOW.” A Sudden Move of God Debbie Fenske - 1/16/23 (David's notes in red) During our morning Zoom meeting, the Lord allowed me to see in the Spirit, those whom we would call, the lowliest of people, and those addicted to every kind of sin. I could see the Spirit of the Lord suddenly coming upon them, moving in their spirits. I could discern their intense desire for God. These were dry, needy, and homeless people on the streets. (These represent spiritually homeless people as well.) I could see them dropping to their knees, and raising their hands to heaven with a sudden, but awesome desire for Jesus; to truly want to know Him. “I am doing this. I am doing the work. But even My people, who know My truths, and are walking in My ways, will see, and wonder if such persons could be touched in such a way. But I say to you, ‘What a remnant I am bringing forth!' So, I warn you. I warn My people to be prepared. Be ready to receive My gift to minister to those who I will allow you to run into as you go about your business of the day. And I say, do not let their appearance stop you from being moved by My spirit, to minister by My Spirit as I bring you face-to-face with them. Be alert and do the work of God. Even those affluent ones who have sat before Bible teachers hearing My Word preached, and receiving it with joy, and walking in My ways to the best of their knowledge, now will suddenly receive revelation from My Spirit that they are yet so empty, and needy of the deeper truths of My Word. They are going to suddenly desire more of Me, and they will seek Me with all their hearts, praying with earnest out of a sudden yearning desire which I will suddenly impart to them. (In revivals in the past, sinners and self-righteous people suddenly, for no apparent reason, have been overcome with grief for their sins and cried out to God.) And many will find you and will truly find Me through the ministry and revelation truths you have received in Me through My Word and are so freely giving out. Be ready, My People. For I will suddenly do a quick work. Have you not heard? The harvest is ready to be picked.. Therefore, I say to you, ‘Stay prepared in Me, and go forth, intentionally, into My harvest field. Drop all things that would hinder you from being My vessels. For I have called you.” Thank you, Father! Bless us all, in Jesus' name, to receive this word from You, and to move with Your Spirit, to bring many into Your kingdom, and into Your eternal kingdom truths. Amen! Meteors Falling from the Sky Winnie Osegueda - 2/14/23 (David's notes in red) Our daughter, Zoé, who is 6 years old, woke up saying she had a crazy dream. She said meteors were falling from the sky and through our ceiling. She said, “One fell on my lap, but I wasn't harmed because Jesus protected me.” (We have been told that we are going through an area of the galaxy in which many meteors would fall to earth and also going through the tail of Planet X would have this affect.) She also said she caught a couple in her hands and it caused her no harm either. (Zoe' means, “God's life”. Those who have God's life will be protected supernaturally through their faith.) She doesn't really know about the things that are about to come so I believe the Lord has been giving her dreams. Our Entire Solar System is Changing Rapidly, But Nobody is Really Talking About It Songs of Ascent - 12/12/22 Strange Sounds - All the major bodies of our Solar System are changing rapidly, but nobody is talking about it. (Historically, Planet X affects all the planets. Hag. 2:6 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land.) We are in the upswing of Solar Cycle 25. Could it be related? https://strangesounds.org/2022/12/our-entire-solar-system-is-changing-rapidly-but-nobody-is-really-talking-about-it.html We are seeing rapid observable changes to almost every single planet: Pluto's atmosphere has recently collapsed (Astronomy) Neptune's storms have suddenly begun rotating backwards (SS) and the planet is mysteriously cooling down (SS) Uranus' polar regions are visibly flaring (Texplorist) Jupiter has recently experienced a 700 degree temperature impulse originating from its northern pole, and its great red spot is fading [SS] Mars is suddenly displaying seismic activity (SS) Venus' planetary winds have increased their velocity by 33% in the last 20 years (Space) It goes on from there, we've recently observed: large-scale changes in the ice cover on Jupiter's moon Europa (PhysicsWorld) large-scale changes in the polar ice cap on Mars (SS) Saturn is losing its rings (The Atlantic) a mysterious darkening of the atmosphere of Venus (Astronomy) unusual changes in the temperature and pressure of the atmosphere of Neptune (NASA) a brightening of the atmosphere of Jupiter (AGU) Here on earth, our own magnetosphere is rapidly losing it's strength as our magnetic poles continue to race away from their usual positions, wreaking havoc on animal migrations – See all the beached whales this year as well as the spike in reports of unusual bird sightings. Things have gotten to the point where we are now updating our magnetic models yearly, and soon there will be zones of flux broken bad enough to cause real danger to flying due to constant magnetic reconnection. Our aurorae are reaching levels of intensity not normally seen, with recent high-energy'pink' aurorae being observed. The fundamental electromagnetic nature of this planet – electromagnetism responsible for a variety of effects on life, most especially cardiac and pulmonary health in humans, is changing rapidly. Volcanic activity on our planet is currently at a record, with more and more volcanoes showing [a] concerning lift, erupting, or showing increases in lava flow. Every single active volcano along the pacific rim is showing increased activity. Mount Rainier looks ready soon. The Sisters in Oregon are showing lift. Given only one of two data points, it would be easy to discount the events as isolated and unrelated outliers with no significance. Taken together, however, the total body of evidence becomes impossible to ignore, and, once the presumption is made that this information is known by our leaders, pretty much explains the motivations for their actions. Everything is changing. Nobody is telling you. In fact, they built us a world where these questions are taboo, where every answer leads you away from the glaring, obvious truth. William Casey, former director of the CIA, upon being asked what the goal of the agency was (in 1981) said, “We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.” We are in the upswing of Solar Cycle 25. All planets are connected to the sun, eg by what NASA calls magnetic flux ropes – stable energetic connections exchange energy in the form of a charged particle stream. These transfer energy and charged material to the planets and drive their rotation. Because the planet's rotation is tied to this inductive transfer, it is highly likely that during the most pronounced moment of a magnetic pole excursion the earth would stop its rotation. This sounds like crazy talk until you read historical accounts of the sun rising in the wrong place. Earthquake/Core relation video: This one addresses both. (THIS COULD HAVE BEARING ON THE BIG QUAKES COMING.) Terrawatch: Why Has the Earth's Spinning Inner Core Slowed Down? Kate Ravilious - 2/22/23 Earth's inner core appears to have stopped spinning faster than its mantle. New measurements suggest that the rotation of the inner core has slowed in recent decades and is now about to reverse direction, spinning more slowly than the mantle. The finding helps to explain recent changes in Earth's magnetic field and the length of day. The Earth's solid inner core is contained within the liquid outer core, enabling it to rotate differently from the Earth itself. Its spin is driven by the magnetic field generated in the outer core, and balanced by gravitational effects within Earth's mantle. Terrawatch: is Earth's core going rusty? Read more By analyzing earthquake seismic waves that have passed through the inner core, researchers were able to calculate how the spin of the inner core has changed since the 1960s. They found that seismic waves have tended to follow a very similar path since about 2009, suggesting that the inner core rotation has paused. The data showed something similar occurred in the early 1970s, indicating that the inner core appears to change in a similar way every few decades. The new finding, which is published in Nature Geoscience, is helping scientists to better understand the interaction between different layers of the Earth, and the impact that processes deep inside the Earth can have on the surface, including the gradual increase in length of day: adding a fraction of a millisecond each year since 2020. By Nikk Ogasa 1/ 23/23 “We see strong evidence that the inner core has been rotating faster than the surface, [but] by around 2009 it nearly stopped,” says geophysicist Xiaodong Song of Peking University in Beijing. “Now it is gradually mov[ing] in the opposite direction.” Uniform Depth Earthquakes Unnatural Missy Pollock Most of the earthquakes in the photo below are unconfirmed, 10 km deep and Dutch-sinse isn't showing most of them in his reports that I've seen. (If they are all 10 km, they are not natural earthquakes but to prepare Earthquakes.) This is the NY / Ala fault, where Sandy and one other dreamed the earthquakes would start crossing America. All of these being uniformly 10 KM deep shows they are not natural earthquakes, but the DS is attempting to make that fault fail. Over by Charlies house the eastern fault was being bombed to make sure it fails when the time comes. By that and fracking they are preparing the quakes to go where they want them to go. Turkey and Syria lost tens of thousands so far from tectonic weapons of DS. It is started. The earth plates are ultimately being moved by God. The Lord told Ken Dewey, “I AM shaking many things and moving things in the ground around, rearranging them. Many changes, [will come] suddenly! Get ready, for the time of my great miracles are come, and many will move to do exploits for Me.” (The Lord is coming for the Bride as this EQ war proceeds.) The Alliance under Trump repatriated the stolen gold and returned it to the nations and the DS wants it back. According to Operation Disclosure: The Khazarian Mafia has been reduced to threatening use of earthquake weapons to force countries to hand over their gold. Indonesian authorities tell us they are being told to hand over gold and other natural resources, or a very large earthquake will occur later this month. The threats came from the Dutch embassy in Jakarta. It was passed on to a high-level official in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Indonesia in Jakarta, Indonesian intelligence sources say. Washington Monument Crumbles Marie Kelton - 2/13/23 (David's notes in red) I had a vision of it being cloudy and foggy around the water that is by the Washington monument. All of a sudden, the vision zoomed in above the water toward the monument. Then the ground shook like an earthquake had happen and the Washington monument cracked in the middle and the top half fell over. I saw this multiple times. (This is the NY/Alabama fault we were speaking of. The Eastern fault that starts it all.) The UAE Deal: Earthquake Sign Michelle Rogers - 10/23/20 (David's notes in red) On January 28, 2020 President Trump held a news conference in D.C with Netanyahu in which the UAE deal was announced. The announcement included plans to give over more territory to the Palestinians provided they met certain conditions. Just about two hours later, a 7.7 earthquake struck in the Caribbean and was felt all the way to Miami Florida where Trump has his famous Mar-a-Lago resort. The quake was so strong that it shook the city to the point that people had to evacuate high rise buildings. I felt in my spirit that the 7.7 quake corresponded to Isa. 7:7 thus saith the Lord Jehovah, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass. (Meaning the division of Israel at this time. This also speaks of born again spiritual Israel, the true Church. Eventually Israel will be divided and greater judgment will fall.) Tennessee Cracked in Half Taryn Ezell - 2/20/23 (David's notes in red) I dreamed I was sitting in the car looking out the window as we were driving. I was asking the Lord when these things should be regarding the Tribulation because of what was going on at the Asbury revival. I was praying as we drove to Cracker Barrel. When we got to Cracker Barrel [and went inside], a huge earthquake happened while we were sitting there. I knew in the dream that this was the beginning of the days foretold; days that would have to be shortened to save the elect. I realized that Cracker Barrel had been moved [by the quake] all the way to downtown Maryville. I saw a huge, gaping crack, miles wide in width, and smoke smoldering. There was damage everywhere. The look on peoples faces was that of horror. I tried to call Matt and we talked briefly. Then I called my dad and he said he'd heard about it. But nothing had happened where he was yet. I was given the knowledge that more were coming. More earthquakes would break the US and the world apart. Destruction was everywhere in my location from just one earthquake. It had cracked Tennessee in half. Then I woke up. (At least two fault lines, one on both sides of the TN Valley will separate Tennessee. In our dreams it will be like a boat shaped piece of land in the water. We are in the middle of the boat.) Cutting Off the Flesh Brings Earthquakes Marie Kelton - 8/1/22 (David's notes in red) …I dreamed that I was at Amber's house. I was telling a few people that were there about an earthquake that happened. I was telling them about the fault line but I couldn't remember what it was called, so I grabbed a math book from off of Amber's bookshelf and I looked it up. It said that the fault line was called, “Stratosphere”. The dream changed… and this time I was standing in an open area on the grass (The grass represents the flesh 1Pe. 1:24 For, All flesh is as grass, And all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower falleth.). I was cutting ham with a meat slicer that I use at work. (Representing cutting off the “unclean” flesh.) I was talking to a person and I was telling them that I was afraid to cut to the meat because I thought it would start the earthquake. (We must cast down our fears of death to self and cut off our flesh. The earthquakes will motivate this. The earthquakes are coming regardless and we need God's divine protection.) I knew in the dream that the area I was in would be the last place the earthquake would hit. Then I woke up. Mat. 24:6-7 "And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that ye be not troubled: for these things must needs come to pass; but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines and earthquakes in divers places." These earthquakes will inevitably cause Tsunami's around the globe too. A Gigantic Wave Coming Samuel Fire - 2/22/23 (David's notes in red) I saw Tiannah, myself, and many other UBM brethren standing together on the beach as a group, and behind us, spread all around, were a large crowd of different people that I didn't know. The place was completely full. I saw from afar, a gigantic wave coming. The wave was about 42 stories high. (The beast will persecute the saints for 42 months. Rev. 13:4-5 and they worshipped the dragon, because he gave his authority unto the beast; and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? And who is able to war with him? 5 and there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and there was given to him authority to continue forty and two months.) All the people that I didn't know began freaking out. Some were screaming and crying and others were trying to run away. All those people were so scared and shocked. All the UBM Brethren were so joyful and excited for this wave to come. It was as if we all had been waiting for this wave. (For us, this wave will bring victory for the kingdom of God in that it will separate the tares from the wheat which will shine forth in the kingdom. Mat. 13:40-43 As therefore the tares are gathered up and burned with fire; so shall it be in the end of the world. 41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and them that do iniquity, 42 and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. (Notice what comes at the end of verse 42 as in 42 months.) 43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears, let him hear. For those who are dead to self there is no fear of the Beast. The end of this 42 months is the coming of the Lord for His saints.) Some of the crowd kept trying to run away to save themselves. A few others fell on their knees in repentance crying to God because they knew they couldn't save themselves or do anything. (God will bring repentance through judgment to His elect.) As the wave came the brethren had special equipment for the water and they had experience and had been trained to ride the wave, so they were prepared and knew exactly what to do. When the wave came, we were gently lifted up and we just surfed the wave, riding it and some were just walking on the water. (1Th. 4:13 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we that are alive, that are left unto the coming of the Lord, shall in no wise precede them that are fallen asleep.) Everyone else, was wiped out from the wave; but we brethren were all calm and having fun and a great time. (Psa. 37:18-20 Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect; And their inheritance shall be for ever. 19 They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil; And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. 20 But the wicked shall perish, And the enemies of Jehovah shall be as the fat of lambs: They shall consume; In smoke shall they consume away.) Two Visions of a Wave of Destruction Marie Kelton - 2-17-23 (David's notes in red) Vision #1: During our evening meeting, I had a vision of a city with a few tall buildings in it. There were white cars that were parked in the city. (Representing the righteous who are in the rest.) I then saw a huge wave come in from the right and flood the city. (Judgment begins in the house of God then the wicked are judged as we will see. 1Pe. 4:17 For the time is come for judgment to begin at the house of God: and if it begin first at us, what shall be the end of them that obey not the gospel of God?) Vision #2: Later on in the meeting I had another vision, of people in a city. The people were trying to run away from a huge wave of water that was coming towards them. (God is going to give His people a 3-year grace period during these times to work in Revival for His People and Kingdom. All provision will be given.) Christ, the Only Sure Foundation Samuel Fire - 11/26/22 “My presence will manifest the provision and care for you to work and to sow for My Kingdom. Be prepared as you can feel the quickening and power to flow all over. Sensitivity to Me allows much of an increase and anointing. Keep in the faith and remain vigilant to speak out the Word and truth. Crush the lies and enemy and keep cutting off the world and [the] carnal and remain separate in sanctification. The foundation is Christ. Being rooted and deep without any form or function of doubt or weakness. Strong and zealous with fervent love to Me. Have everything on the complete and clean foundation of My Word. Take hold and do not let yourself be moved by any distraction. Those who are stronger and solidified in Me and My Son and in the power of My Word can then be revealed and grow with the manifestation of the hidden manna. This amazing and wonderful and exciting treasure will be like finding a rare and precious gem than anything that has been encountered before. As such a treasure you would be diligent to share or speak, as everything would come from Me. Pray, as I know of your desires and delight in Me. But pray that you cannot lose your hold on the perfect, clear, and strong foundation of My Word. All and everything you have hidden and done for Me, shall be openly honored, and given back to Me. Not by works or by boasting, but to do so without seeking any fame or recognition. When you offer and uplift Me in everything, I accept and reward it before the next thought. Think on the spiritual aspect of the creation I made for you. I am and you are and we are already together.” (I saw how there is a spiritual meaning to the existence we know. The vessels, the earth, and all the darkness is like a journey through a maze, to find a way to the exit; like a type of game to get closer and walk with our Father. …We encounter and experience more and grow deeper and more advanced in our trials. Yet, the whole time and until eternity it is as though the Almighty Father had already laid it out before we existed. His delight is this constant relationship. He desires to work through all our lives.) I Have Them in My Hands Debbie Fenske - 2/10/23 “You are on the right path, My children, this straight and narrow path. You must consign yourselves to remaining on this path. Keep your mind, and your eyes, and your feet always going forward in Me. You must not deviate from this path, neither to the left, or to the right. Even as I have chosen you, so, you have chosen Me when you walk this path. This path is a high priority walk of sanctification. This, My children, is My Great Divide. Your walk of total sanctification from this world has you entering My great, set-apart, High Calling. My grace is, and will always be, sufficient for you. My grace keeps you desiring to press on into Me, and into the eternal truths, and glorious wonders that lie ahead of you. I sovereignly am taking away from you all burdens, worry, fear, and constant wondering about those you love who are on the other side. I say to you that you need not worry, or be bothered about them, as I have them in My hands. My light will be shining on them as I bring them along the path set for them. Many will also walk My straight and narrow path that I will set before them. They will desire more of Me through My Word. They will desire My ways, and My will, and how to cross My Great Divide, and on to the path of total sanctification. They will understand. Many will not know how to receive my divine truths. But, My grace will enable them to walk in what they know. They, too, are in My hands. So, My children, rejoice, in your Faithful One! For it will all be good. I have not, and will not reject your prayers. By faith, know that these have chosen me, and they will not be without My mercy. As you know, the present evil will become so much worse. Great evil, and darkness. But all who are Mine are in My hands, no matter what befalls them; some to martyrdom; some I will take up to Me, that they escape the sting of death. Stay the course. Stay strong in your faith, and in your trust in Me and My Words to you, which will always be your shield and your protection.” SERVICES Ubbs Outreach Friday Night Worship CONTACT Share Your Testimony Request Prayer Technical Support Questions SUPPORT US We are a non-profit organisation based in United States.

We continue our look back at the movies released by independent distributor Vestron Pictures, focusing on their 1988 releases. ----more---- The movies discussed on this episode, all released by Vestron Pictures in 1988 unless otherwise noted, include: Amsterdamned (Dick Maas) And God Created Woman (Roger Vadim) The Beat (Paul Mones) Burning Secret (Andrew Birkin) Call Me (Sollace Mitchell) The Family (Ettore Scola) Gothic (Ken Russell, 1987) The Lair of the White Worm (Ken Russell) Midnight Crossing (Roger Holzberg) Paramedics (Stuart Margolin) The Pointsman (Jos Stelling) Salome's Last Dance (Ken Russell) Promised Land (Michael Hoffman) The Unholy (Camilo Vila) Waxwork (Anthony Hickox) TRANSCRIPT From Los Angeles, California, the Entertainment Capital of the World, it's The 80s Movies Podcast. I am your host, Edward Havens. Thank you for listening today. At the end of the previous episode, Vestron Pictures was celebrating the best year of its two year history. Dirty Dancing had become one of the most beloved movies of the year, and Anna was becoming a major awards contender, thanks to a powerhouse performance by veteran actress Sally Kirkland. And at the 60th Academy Awards ceremony, honoring the films of 1987, Dirty Dancing would win the Oscar for Best Original Song, while Anna would be nominated for Best Actress, and The Dead for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Costumes. Surely, things could only go up from there, right? Welcome to Part Two of our miniseries. But before we get started, I'm issuing a rare mea culpa. I need to add another Vestron movie which I completely missed on the previous episode, because it factors in to today's episode. Which, of course, starts before our story begins. In the 1970s, there were very few filmmakers like the flamboyant Ken Russell. So unique a visual storyteller was Russell, it's nigh impossible to accurately describe him in a verbal or textual manner. Those who have seen The Devils, Tommy or Altered States know just how special Russell was as a filmmaker. By the late 1980s, the hits had dried up, and Russell was in a different kind of artistic stage, wanting to make somewhat faithful adaptations of late 19th and early 20th century UK authors. Vestron was looking to work with some prestigious filmmakers, to help build their cache in the filmmaking community, and Russell saw the opportunity to hopefully find a new home with this new distributor not unlike the one he had with Warner Brothers in the early 70s that brought forth several of his strongest movies. In June 1986, Russell began production on a gothic horror film entitled, appropriately enough, Gothic, which depicted a fictionalized version of a real life meeting between Mary Godwin, Percy Shelley, John William Polidori and Claire Clairemont at the Villa Diodati in Geneva, hosted by Lord Byron, from which historians believe both Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and John William Polidori's The Vampyre were inspired. And you want to talk about a movie with a great cast. Gabriel Byrne plays Lord Byron, Julian Sands as Percy Shelley, Natasha Richardson, in her first ever movie, as Mary Shelley, Timothy Spall as John William Polidori, and Dexter Fletcher. Although the film was produced through MGM, and distributed by the company in Europe, they would not release the film in America, fearing American audiences wouldn't get it. So Vestron would swoop in and acquire the American theatrical rights. Incidentally, the film did not do very well in American theatres. Opening at the Cinema 1 in midtown Manhattan on April 10th, 1987, the film would sell $45,000 worth of tickets in its first three days, one of the best grosses of any single screen in the city. But the film would end up grossing only $916k after three months in theatres. BUT… The movie would do quite well for Vestron on home video, enough so that Vestron would sign on to produce Russell's next three movies. The first of those will be coming up very soon. Vestron's 1988 release schedule began on January 22nd with the release of two films. The first was Michael Hoffman's Promised Land. In 1982, Hoffman's first film, Privileged, was the first film to made through the Oxford Film Foundation, and was notable for being the first screen appearances for Hugh Grant and Imogen Stubbs, the first film scored by future Oscar winning composer Rachel Portman, and was shepherded into production by none other than John Schlesinger, the Oscar winning director of 1969 Best Picture winner Midnight Cowboy. Hoffman's second film, the Scottish comedy Restless Natives, was part of the 1980s Scottish New Wave film movement that also included Bill Forsyth's Gregory's Girl and Local Hero, and was the only film to be scored by the Scottish rock band Big Country. Promised Land was one of the first films to be developed by the Sundance Institute, in 1984, and when it was finally produced in 1986, would include Robert Redford as one of its executive producers. The film would follow two recent local high school graduates, Hancock and Danny, whose lives would intersect again with disastrous results several years after graduation. The cast features two young actors destined to become stars, in Keifer Sutherland and Meg Ryan, as well as Jason Gedrick, Tracy Pollan, and Jay Underwood. Shot in Reno and around the Sundance Institute outside Park City, Utah during the early winter months of 1987, Promised Land would make its world premiere at the prestigious Deauville Film Festival in September 1987, but would lose its original distributor, New World Pictures around the same time. Vestron would swoop in to grab the distribution rights, and set it for a January 22nd, 1988 release, just after its American debut at the then U.S. Film Festival, which is now known as the Sundance Film Festival. Convenient, eh? Opening on six screens in , the film would gross $31k in its first three days. The film would continue to slowly roll out into more major markets, but with a lack of stellar reviews, and a cast that wouldn't be more famous for at least another year and a half, Vestron would never push the film out to more than 67 theaters, and it would quickly disappear with only $316k worth of tickets sold. The other movie Vestron opened on January 22nd was Ettore Scale's The Family, which was Italy's submission to that year's Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film. The great Vittorio Gassman stars as a retired college professor who reminisces about his life and his family over the course of the twentieth century. Featuring a cast of great international actors including Fanny Ardant, Philip Noiret, Stefania Sandrelli and Ricky Tognazzi, The Family would win every major film award in Italy, and it would indeed be nominated for Best Foreign Language Film, but in America, it would only play in a handful of theatres for about two months, unable to gross even $350k. When is a remake not a remake? When French filmmaker Roger Vadim, who shot to international fame in 1956 with his movie And God Created Woman, decided to give a generational and international spin on his most famous work. And a completely different story, as to not resemble his original work in any form outside of the general brushstrokes of both being about a young, pretty, sexually liberated young woman. Instead of Bridget Bardot, we get Rebecca De Mornay, who was never able to parlay her starring role in Risky Business to any kind of stardom the way one-time boyfriend Tom Cruise had. And if there was any American woman in the United States in 1988 who could bring in a certain demographic to see her traipse around New Mexico au natural, it would be Rebecca De Mornay. But as we saw with Kathleen Turner in Ken Russell's Crimes of Passion in 1984 and Ellen Barkin in Mary Lambert's Siesta in 1987, American audiences were still rather prudish when it came to seeing a certain kind of female empowered sexuality on screen, and when the film opened at 385 theatres on March 4th, it would open to barely a $1,000 per screen average. And God Created Woman would be gone from theatres after only three weeks and $717k in ticket sales. Vestron would next release a Dutch film called The Pointsman, about a French woman who accidentally gets off at the wrong train station in a remote Dutch village, and a local railwayman who, unable to speak the other person's language, develop a strange relationship while she waits for another train that never arrives. Opening at the Lincoln Plaza Cinemas on New York's Upper West Side on April 8th, the film would gross $7,000 in its first week, which in and of itself isn't all that bad for a mostly silent Dutch film. Except there was another Dutch film in the marketplace already, one that was getting much better reviews, and was the official Dutch entry into that year's Best Foreign Language Film race. That film, Babette's Feast, was becoming something more than just a movie. Restaurants across the country were creating menus based on the meals served in the film, and in its sixth week of release in New York City that weekend, had grossed four times as much as The Pointsman, despite the fact that the theatre playing Babette's Feast, the Cinema Studio 1, sat only 65 more people than the Lincoln Plaza 1. The following week, The Pointsman would drop to $6k in ticket sales, while Babette's Feast's audience grew another $6k over the previous week. After a third lackluster week, The Pointsman was gone from the Lincoln Plaza, and would never play in another theatre in America. In the mid-80s, British actor Ben Cross was still trying to capitalize on his having been one of the leads in the 1981 Best Picture winner Chariots of Fire, and was sharing a home with his wife and children, as well as Camilo Vila, a filmmaker looking for his first big break in features after two well-received short films made in his native Cuba before he defected in the early 1980s. When Vila was offered the chance to direct The Unholy, about a Roman Catholic priest in New Orleans who finds himself battling a demonic force after being appointed to a new parish, he would walk down the hall of his shared home and offered his roomie the lead role. Along with Ned Beatty, William Russ, Hal Holbrook and British actor Trevor Howard in his final film, The Unholy would begin two weeks of exterior filming in New Orleans on October 27th, 1986, before moving to a studio in Miami for seven more weeks. The film would open in 1189 theatres, Vestron's widest opening to date, on April 22nd, and would open in seventh place with $2.35m in ticket sales. By its second week in theatres, it would fall to eleventh place with a $1.24m gross. But with the Summer Movie Season quickly creeping up on the calendar, The Unholy would suffer the same fate as most horror films, making the drop to dollar houses after two weeks, as to make room for such dreck as Sunset, Blake Edwards' lamentable Bruce Willis/James Garner riff on Hollywood and cowboys in the late 1920s, and the pointless sequel to Critters before screens got gobbled up by Rambo III on Memorial Day weekend. It would earn a bit more than $6m at the box office. When Gothic didn't perform well in American theatres, Ken Russell thought his career was over. As we mentioned earlier, the American home video store saved his career, as least for the time being. The first film Russell would make for Vestron proper was Salome's Last Dance, based on an 1891 play by Oscar Wilde, which itself was based on a story from the New Testament. Russell's script would add a framing device as a way for movie audiences to get into this most theatrical of stories. On Guy Fawkes Day in London in 1892, Oscar Wilde and his lover, Lord Alfred Douglas, arrive late at a friend's brothel, where the author is treated to a surprise performance of his play Salome, which has recently been banned from being performed at all in England by Lord Chamberlain. All of the actors in his special performance are played by the prostitutes of the brothel and their clients, and the scenes of the play are intertwined with Wilde's escapades at the brothel that night. We didn't know it at the time, but Salome's Last Dance would be the penultimate film performance for Academy Award winning actress Glenda Jackson, who would retire to go into politics in England a couple years later, after working with Russell on another film, which we'll get to in a moment. About the only other actor you might recognize in the film is David Doyle, of all people, the American actor best known for playing Bosley on Charlie's Angels. Like Gothic, Salome's Last Dance would not do very well in theatres, grossing less than half a million dollars after three months, but would find an appreciative audience on home video. The most interesting thing about Roger Holzberg's Midnight Crossing is the writer and director himself. Holzberg started in the entertainment industry as a playwright, then designed the props and weapons for Albert Pyun's 1982 film The Sword and the Sorcerer, before moving on to direct the second unit team on Pyun's 1985 film Radioactive Dreams. After making this film, Holzberg would have a cancer scare, and pivot to health care, creating a number of technological advancements to help evolve patient treatment, including the Infusionarium, a media setup which helps children with cancer cope with treatment by asking them questions designed to determine what setting would be most comforting to them, and then using virtual reality technology and live events to immerse them in such an environment during treatment. That's pretty darn cool, actually. Midnight Crossing stars Faye Dunaway and Hill Street Blues star Daniel J. Travanti in his first major movie role as a couple who team with another couple, played by Kim Cattrall and John Laughlin, who go hunting for treasure supposedly buried between Florida and Cuba. The film would open in 419 theaters on May 11th, 1988, and gross a paltry $673k in its first three days, putting it 15th on the list of box office grosses for the week, $23k more than Three Men and a Baby, which was playing on 538 screens in its 25th week of release. In its second week, Midnight Crossing would lose more than a third of its theatres, and the weekend gross would fall to just $232k. The third week would be even worse, dropping to just 67 theatres and $43k in ticket sales. After a few weeks at a handful of dollar houses, the film would be history with just $1.3m in the bank. Leonard Klady, then writing for the Los Angeles Times, would note in a January 1989 article about the 1988 box office that Midnight Crossing's box office to budget ratio of 0.26 was the tenth worst ratio for any major or mini-major studio, ahead of And God Created Woman's 8th worst ratio of .155 but behind other stinkers like Caddyshack II. The forgotten erotic thriller Call Me sounds like a twist on the 1984 Alan Rudolph romantic comedy Choose Me, but instead of Genevieve Bujold we get Patricia Charbonneau, and instead of a meet cute involving singles at a bar in Los Angeles, we get a murder mystery involving a New York City journalist who gets involved with a mysterious caller after she witnesses a murder at a bar due to a case of mistaken identity. The film's not very good, but the supporting cast is great, including Steve Buscemi, Patti D'Arbanville, Stephen McHattie and David Straithairn. Opening on 24 screens in major markets on May 20th, Call Me would open to horrible reviews, lead by Siskel and Ebert's thumbs facing downward, and only $58,348 worth of tickets sold in its first three days. After five weeks in theatres, Vestron hung up on Call Me with just $252k in the kitty. Vestron would open two movies on June 3rd, one in a very limited release, and one in a moderate national release. There are a lot of obscure titles in these two episodes, and probably the most obscure is Paul Mones' The Beat. The film followed a young man named Billy Kane, played by William McNamara in his film debut, who moves into a rough neighborhood controlled by several gangs, who tries to help make his new area a better place by teaching them about poetry. John Savage from The Deer Hunter plays a teacher, and future writer and director Reggie Rock Bythewood plays one of the troubled youths whose life is turned around through the written and spoken word. The production team was top notch. Producer Julia Phillips was one of the few women to ever win a Best Picture Oscar when she and her then husband Michael Phillips produced The Sting in 1973. Phillips was assisted on the film by two young men who were making their first movie. Jon Kilik would go on to produce or co-produce every Spike Lee movie from Do the Right Thing to Da 5 Bloods, except for BlackkKlansman, while Nick Weschler would produce sex, lies and videotape, Drugstore Cowboy, The Player and Requiem for a Dream, amongst dozens of major films. And the film's cinematographer, Tom DiCillo, would move into the director's chair in 1991 with Johnny Suede, which gave Brad Pitt his first lead role. The Beat would be shot on location in New York City in the summer of 1986, and it would make its world premiere at the Cannes Film Market in May 1987. But it would be another thirteen months before the film arrived in theatres. Opening on seven screens in Los Angeles and New York City on June 3rd, The Beat would gross just $7,168 in its first three days. There would not be a second week for The Beat. It would make its way onto home video in early 1989, and that's the last time the film was seen for nearly thirty years, until the film was picked up by a number of streaming services. Vestron's streak of bad luck continued with the comedy Paramedics starring George Newbern and Christopher McDonald. The only feature film directed by Stuart Margolin, best known as Angel on the 1970s TV series The Rockford Files, Newbern and McDonald play two… well, paramedics… who are sent by boss, as punishment, from their cushy uptown gig to a troubled district at the edge of the city, where they discover two other paramedics are running a cadavers for dollars scheme, harvesting organs from dead bodies to the black market. Here again we have a great supporting cast who deserve to be in a better movie, including character actor John P. Ryan, James Noble from Benson, Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs from Welcome Back Kotter, the great Ray Walston, and one-time Playboy Playmate Karen Witter, who plays a sort of angel of death. Opening on 301 screens nationwide, Paramedics would only gross $149,577 in its first three days, the worst per screen average of any movie playing in at least 100 theatres that weekend. Vestron stopped tracking the film after just three days. Two weeks later, on June 17th, Vestron released a comedy horror film that should have done better. Waxwork was an interesting idea, a group of college students who have some strange encounters with the wax figures at a local museum, but that's not exactly why it should have been more popular. It was the cast that should have brought audiences in. On one side, you had a group of well-known younger actors like Deborah Foreman from Valley Girl, Zack Gailligan from Gremlins, Michelle Johnson from Blame It on Rio, and Miles O'Keeffe from Sword of the Valiant. On the other hand, you had a group of seasoned veterans from popular television shows and movies, such as Patrick Macnee from the popular 1960s British TV show The Avengers, John Rhys-Davies from the Indiana Jones movies, and David Warner, from The Omen and Time after Time and Time Bandits and Tron. But if I want to be completely honest, this was not a movie to release in the early part of summer. While I'm a firm believer that the right movie can find an audience no matter when it's released, Waxwork was absolutely a prime candidate for an early October release. Throughout the 1980s, we saw a number of horror movies, and especially horror comedies, released in the summer season that just did not hit with audiences. So it would be of little surprise when Waxwork grossed less than a million dollars during its theatrical run. And it should be of little surprise that the film would become popular enough on home video to warrant a sequel, which would add more popular sci-fi and horror actors like Marina Sirtis from Star Trek: The Next Generation, David Carradine and even Bruce Campbell. But by 1992, when Waxwork 2 was released, Vestron was long since closed. The second Ken Russell movie made for Vestron was The Lair of the White Worm, based on a 1911 novel by Bram Stoker, the author's final published book before his death the following year. The story follows the residents in and around a rural English manor that are tormented by an ancient priestess after the skull of a serpent she worships is unearthed by an archaeologist. Russell would offer the role of Sylvia Marsh, the enigmatic Lady who is actually an immortal priestess to an ancient snake god, to Tilda Swinton, who at this point of her career had already racked up a substantial resume in film after only two years, but she would decline. Instead, the role would go to Amanda Donohoe, the British actress best known at the time for her appearances in a pair of Adam Ant videos earlier in the decade. And the supporting cast would include Peter Capaldi, Hugh Grant, Catherine Oxenberg, and the under-appreciated Sammi Davis, who was simply amazing in Mona Lisa, A Prayer for the Dying and John Boorman's Hope and Glory. The $2m would come together fairly quickly. Vestron and Russell would agree on the film in late 1987, the script would be approved by January 1988, filming would begin in England in February, and the completed film would have its world premiere at the Montreal Film Festival before the end of August. When the film arrived in American theatres starting on October 21st, many critics would embrace the director's deliberate camp qualities and anachronisms. But audiences, who maybe weren't used to Russell's style of filmmaking, did not embrace the film quite so much. New Yorkers would buy $31k worth of tickets in its opening weekend at the D. W. Griffith and 8th Street Playhouse, and the film would perform well in its opening weeks in major markets, but the film would never quite break out, earning just $1.2m after ten weeks in theatres. But, again, home video would save the day, as the film would become one of the bigger rental titles in 1989. If you were a teenager in the early 80s, as I was, you may remember a Dutch horror film called The Lift. Or, at the very least, you remember the key art on the VHS box, of a man who has his head stuck in between the doors of an elevator, while the potential viewer is warned to take the stairs, take the stairs, for God's sake, take the stairs. It was an impressive debut film for Dick Maas, but it was one that would place an albatross around the neck of his career. One of his follow ups to The Lift, called Amsterdamned, would follow a police detective who is searching for a serial killer in his home town, who uses the canals of the Dutch capital to keep himself hidden. When the detective gets too close to solving the identity of the murderer, the killer sends a message by killing the detective's girlfriend, which, if the killer had ever seen a movie before, he should have known you never do. You never make it personal for the cop, because he's gonna take you down even worse. When the film's producers brought the film to the American Film Market in early 1988, it would become one of the most talked about films, and Vestron would pick up the American distribution rights for a cool half a million dollars. The film would open on six screens in the US on November 25th, including the Laemmle Music Hall in Beverly Hills but not in New York City, but a $15k first weekend gross would seal its fate almost immediately. The film would play for another four weeks in theatres, playing on 18 screens at its widest, but it would end its run shortly after the start of of the year with only $62,044 in tickets sold. The final Vestron Pictures release of 1988 was Andrew Birkin's Burning Secret. Birkin, the brother of French singer and actress Jane Birkin, would co-write the screenplay for this adaptation of a 1913 short story by Austrian novelist Stefan Zweig, about a about an American diplomat's son who befriends a mysterious baron while staying at an Austrian spa during the 1920s. According to Birkin in a 2021 interview, making the movie was somewhat of a nightmare, as his leading actors, Klaus Maria Brandauer and Faye Dunaway, did not like each other, and their lack of comfort with each other would bleed into their performances, which is fatal for a film about two people who are supposed to passionately burn for each other. Opening on 16 screens in major markets on Thursday, December 22nd, Burning Secret would only gross $27k in its first four days. The film would actually see a post-Christmas bump, as it would lose a screen but see its gross jump to $40k. But after the first of the year, as it was obvious reviews were not going to save the film and awards consideration was non-existent, the film would close after three weeks with only $104k worth of tickets sold. By the end of 1988, Vestron was facing bankruptcy. The major distributors had learned the lessons independents like Vestron had taught them about selling more volumes of tapes by lowering the price, to make movies collectables and have people curate their own video library. Top titles were harder to come by, and studios were no longer giving up home video rights to the movies they acquired from third-party producers. Like many of the distributors we've spoken about before, and will undoubtedly speak of again, Vestron had too much success with one movie too quickly, and learned the wrong lessons about growth. If you look at the independent distribution world of 2023, you'll see companies like A24 that have learned that lesson. Stay lean and mean, don't go too wide too quickly, try not to spend too much money on a movie, no matter who the filmmaker is and how good of a relationship you have with them. A24 worked with Robert Eggers on The Witch and The Lighthouse, but when he wanted to spend $70-90m to make The Northman, A24 tapped out early, and Focus Features ended up losing millions on the film. Focus, the “indie” label for Universal Studios, can weather a huge loss like The Northman because they are a part of a multinational, multimedia conglomerate. This didn't mean Vestron was going to quit quite yet, but, spoiler alert, they'll be gone soon enough. In fact, and in case you are newer to the podcast and haven't listen to many of the previous episodes, none of the independent distribution companies that began and/or saw their best years in the 1980s that we've covered so far or will be covering in the future, exist in the same form they existed in back then. New Line still exists, but it's now a label within Warner Brothers instead of being an independent distributor. Ditto Orion, which is now just a specialty label within MGM/UA. The Samuel Goldwyn Company is still around and still distributes movies, but it was bought by Orion Pictures the year before Orion was bought by MGM/UA, so it too is now just a specialty label, within another specialty label. Miramax today is just a holding company for the movies the company made before they were sold off to Disney, before Disney sold them off to a hedge fund, who sold Miramax off to another hedge fund. Atlantic is gone. New World is gone. Cannon is gone. Hemdale is gone. Cinecom is gone. Island Films is gone. Alive Films is gone. Concorde Films is gone. MCEG is gone. CineTel is gone. Crown International is gone. Lorimar is gone. New Century/Vista is gone. Skouras Films is gone. Cineplex Odeon Films is gone. Not one of them survived. The same can pretty much be said for the independent distributors created in the 1990s, save Lionsgate, but I'll leave that for another podcast to tackle. As for the Vestron story, we'll continue that one next week, because there are still a dozen more movies to talk about, as well as the end of the line for the once high flying company.

This week, we take a look back at the quick rise and even quicker fall of FilmDallas Pictures, which began its life as a Texas-based film investment company in 1983. After helping to produce two Oscar-winning films in 1984, they would take a leap of faith to become a film distribution company, only to be completely gone from the film industry by the end of 1988. ----more---- On this episode, we discuss: Choose Me (1984, Alan Rudolph) Da (1988, Matt Clark) The Dirt Bike Kid (1985, Hoite Caston) Kiss of the Spider Woman (1985, Herbert Babenco) Man Facing Southeast (1986, Elisio Subiela) Night Zoo (1988, Jean-Claude Lauzon) Patti Rocks (1988, David Burton Morris) The Right-Hand Man (1987, Di Drew) Spike of Bensonhurst (1988, Paul Morrissey) Subway to the Stars (1988, Carlos Diegues) The Trip to Bountiful (1985, Peter Masterson).
