The SUPERCULT Founder At Last Emerges From Hiding With WMRTWO<\/h1>\n

We Must Remain the Wildhearted Outsiders<\/i>, by writer\/photographer\/director Chase Lisbon of Supercult<\/a><\/h2>\n

review by Aram French<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

We Must Remain the Wildhearted Outsiders<\/a><\/i> (WMRTWO<\/i>) is unlike any movie you have ever seen. Writer\/Director Chase Lisbon<\/a> has crafted a surreal dreamworld so visually and emotionally layered it practically demands repeat viewings. Centered around the girls of the Monolake “mail-order erotic photos and videos” business, the plot is as impressionistic as the visuals. More a series of vignettes than anything resembling a standard storyline, it is densely crafted, analog, minimalist, unsettling, oppressive, beautiful, sad, and above all else, raw.<\/p>\n

Lisbon is the reclusive mastermind behind the seminal Supercult.com, founded in 2001 it was “alt-porn” before that term had even been coined. Miles apart from the anonymous bodies for hire of LA and predating the parade of short-lived copycats that would follow, Supercult has remained a group of friends doing what they love. Art not moneyshots. Art not money. Independent as fuck.<\/p>\n

Nearly every frame of WMRTWO<\/i> feels like something found. More specifically, something hidden, that wasn’t meant to be found. Something you’re not supposed to be watching<\/a>. You won’t just see the girl in the bathtub, or the couple rolling around in their bed, you’ll see the tripod in the corner too. The other girl snapping Polaroids. The Bible Belt public television on in the background. The love letters. The clients. All of it unfolding in a slow-motion Kubrickian chrysalis of VHS scan lines and hypnotic droning music.<\/p>\n

Voyeuristic? Definitely. Erotic? Perhaps. An experience like none other? Without a doubt. And one I’d recommend wholeheartedly.<\/p>\n
