I Feel Very Urgent About This Film

Little Burn Films is Michael Kimball and I when we make films together. We have a new website (courtesy of the incomparable Tita Chico) with stills and trailers and other stuff. Check it out: www.littleburnfilms.com

I started working on film with Michael Kimball in 2008. The first project was a trailer for his novel Dear Everybody. The trailer became a 9 minutes short film (watch it here). In Dear Everybody there is a shot of Michael's hands pulling the feathers out of a pillow, a visual transcription of a line from the novel: "Here’s the reason that I pulled the stitching out of my feather pillow and then pulled all of the feathers out of it too: I thought that I was going to find a bird."
In that shot there was already a blueprint of what would later become our first full length documentary: I WILL SMASH YOU.
Here's an outtake from I WILL SMASH YOU, where Michael talks a little bit about the genesis of the film:



I WILL SMASH YOU is finally ready to show. We have a screening set up for September 24th at the PPOW Gallery in New York City (http://www.thehostessproject.com).

If you're interested in setting up a screening of I WILL SMASH YOU in your city, email me at lucadipierro[at]yahoo[dot]it and I'll send you a DVD.
