Fools Paradise

Mike Kuchar

2010 00:41:09 English Color Stereo 4:3 DV video

Description

Get ready for a smorgasbord of mishaps perpetrated by misfits choking on missteps in life… Add to this a dash of bitter memories sprinkled with love affairs gone stale, and you’ve got a heap of slop for mental indigestion. 

This movie is food-for-thought you can choke on; an eye-filling, ear-stuffing digital dish that induces gasps and quite a few giggles.

This title comprises Sweet Dreams (2006), Haunted (2006), Scarlet Pearls (2007), Fruit of the Serpent (2007), Idolatry (2010) and Stolen Sweets and Tattle Tales (2009) which were compiled into this form by Mike Kuchar in 2022.

About Mike Kuchar

Mike Kuchar, cinematographer, painter and writer and brother of George Kuchar, was born in New York City.  He began making 8mm movies in the 1950's, switching over to 16mm film production in 1960, and continues now, producing short motion pictures in the video and digital formats.  Mike and George Kuchar were the co-recipients of the "Vanguard Director Award" at the 11th CineVegas Film Festival, 2009, and the 2009 "Frameline Award" at the San Francisco International LGBT Film Festival.

"Film purists," says Mike, "tend to snub the digital medium — but as far as I'm concerned, if it allows the image to move and make noise, I'll gladly use it... and the format fits perfectly into my budgets too!"

Mike Kuchar is a 2017 John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellow for his work in film and video.
