- CLEVELAND'S SCREAMING
- (2006, 87 mins, Hardcore Zen Films, Directed by Brad Warner)
- This new film gives viewers a low-tech but intimate shot-on-video portrait of one of the nation's many local hardcore scenes by focusing on the colorful characters who built their own local punk rock movement in a time and place where looking and thinking different could get you killed! This is Northern Ohio in the early 80s. No croissants. No arugala and sun-dried tomatoes. No hair bands. This is reality. Featured bands: 0DFX (Zero Defex), Starvation Army, Agitated, Offbeats, The Plague, Defnics, Hammer-Damage, and Rubber City Rebels (who were briefly based out of Los Angeles as well as Cleveland).

- SCREAMING MASTERPIECE
- (2006, 85 mins, Milan Entertainment, Directed by Ari Alexander Ergis)
- Icelandic music hit the international scene with Bjork and The Sugarcubes, and, in the last decade, more bands and solo acts have followed suit. Along with Bjork, Sigur Ros, Mum, Bang Gang, Mugison, Minus and Slowblow are just a few of the more recent appearing in this fascinating documentary. At the edge of the world, high in the North-Atlantic, the Icelanders have whiled away the long, dark centuries patiently honing their caustic humor, their eccentric melodies and ancient poetry. The old music, handed down from medieval times, is one of the secrets to the Icelanders’ unique sound – the howl of the arctic storm and the surf breaking on the rocky coast may be another. Whatever the explanation, the Icelanders have fostered a music scene with a sound and attitude that is all their own, mixing ancient dirges and contemporary electronics, rock, punk, pop and classical influences, to produce their own eclectic style. This film delivers the full force of the explosive Icelandic music scene with massive 5.1 Dolby sound and a fast-paced visual extravaganza. We follow the acts from their home in Iceland as they tour the world, from New York to Tokyo and beyond. The film was two years in the making and takes the audience behind the scenes of Reyjavik’s irrepressible musical underground. The creeping glaciers, barren highland sands and dark raging seas full of ghosts form a backdrop to the raw energy of the music...
