Any one here enjoy the work of indie film maker Damon Packard? He is still probably best known for his feature Reflection of Evil, which I highly recommend, and which back in the day he distributed thousands of copies free of charge. His feature film is an unrelenting assault on American consumerism in general and Hollywood in particular, it also manages to have a go at such targets as the Bush administration, Vietnam vets, police, the chemtrails controversy, redneck TV viewers and dog lovers. 'Introduced' and tail-ended by a coiffeured Tony Curtis obviously speaking elsewhere (key passages of which are patently re-edited and overdubbed to apply to the new film), Reflections of Evil is punctuated throughout by other 'found footage' - notably that which insistently advertise tacky 70's goods or promotes the ABC Movie of the Week. I see he has made some shorter film since then, but still concerned with the matter of Hollywood, pillorying and paying homage to it, it seems, in equal amounts.
