Jason Banker's TOAD ROAD (2012)
Among the most damaging and devastating American films I have seen in quite some time, Jason Banker's haunting Toad Road is one of the most original and startling works in recent memory. An almost entirely improvised micro-budgeted production shot mostly in Pennsylvania, Toad Road is just the second feature from Banker but he is already clearly one of the most visionary young filmmakers in the country. While the influence of figures such as Harmony Korine and Gus Van Sant can be felt throughout Toad Road's slim running time of just over 75 minutes, it is one of the most unique productions I have had the pleasure of viewing in some time. Part horror film, part existential youth-drama, part cautionary-drug tale and finally part love story, Toad Road defies easy categorization and I haven't been able to shake it since experiencing it a number of days ago.
"
With these opening words, spoken in an eerily hushed tone by the remarkable Sara Ann Jones, the non linear Toad Road begins and the viewer is immediately pulled into the aimless world

Celia Rowlson-Hall's MA at Kickstarter
Since starting Moon in the Gutter a whopping seven years ago this month I have had the great fortune to come into contact with many great young filmmakers, a number of whom I have featured here. While they have all inspired me in many ways, none have had quite the effect on me as Celia Rowlson-Hall. In the past couple of years Celia's brilliant and visionary short films have consistently thrilled, challenged and moved me beyond words. Her work is both breathtaking and transcendent and stands as a reminder of why I fell in love with film in the first place. Celia recently started a Kickstarter campaign to fund her first feature, a silent work entitled MA. Please take a moment and pledge anything you can and share the video below on your own pages. Imagine if you could go back in time and help fund works like Fernand Léger's Ballet Mécanique or Maya Deren's Meshes of the Afternoon. We are being given the very unique opportunity of helping fund a major work by a truly unique young voice in cinema and I really hope all reading will join me in doing so.
