Sinema Symposium

We be awesome!

About Me

The Sinema Symposium is a forum in which relatively professional film critics meet more or less professional filmmakers and ultra-independent films stars to discuss the greatest and most overlooked films of the late 70's, 80's, and early 90's. What do these films say about our culture? What's the story behind their creation? How did Harley Kincaid the stuntman blow that car up? How did his buddy Gastire Ambilico come to be on set without having a job?

My Interests

Cheap movies, direct to VHS, truck stop films, late 70's to early 90's independent films, bad acting, insane writing, shoddy editing, poor direction, forces, squads, teams, robots
