Bette Gordon made her own feature film. It was low budget but I don't
know if you are looking for that, or for filmmakers who worked for
others? Larry Jordan made another, /The Apparition/, only 50 minutes
according to IMDB, but it had that feature film, or TV-show, look. As
best I can remember it was his own film. I definitely remember that it
looked like it was trying to be a TV show or short feature. I love
Jordan's best films, but on my one viewing of this one, it seemed to be
not good at all, not even at what it was trying to do.

OK, wow, this is great! Thank you for your replies--this is quite a
list. Does anyone know if this history has been written about? I
thought of David E. James and Paul Arthur and I looked at the chapter,
"Narrating Los Angeles: Art Films and Independent Features," in James'
book on minor cinemas in LA. He accounts, indirectly, for the point
that David Sherman has made here by discussing exploitation films that
exploited the counterculture and appropriated some styles, concepts,
and techniques found in the New American Cinema and European art
cinema. The chapter is useful for my research but I am looking for
other articles that might address the history of this overlap more
explicitly. If you think of something, I am all ears. Thank you,
again, I am most appreciative. -JA

Yes! Fisher mentions Messiah of Evil, and shows a frame of it in

Off the top of my head:
1) Nathaniel Dorsky: /Revenge of the Cheerleaders/ (1976)—he
was either director, co-writer, cinematographer or some
combination, depending on whom you ask.
2) I've heard that Morgan Fisher was editor on /Messiah of
Evil/ (1973) although he is not credited (he appears as an
actor as well).
3) Bay Area '60s filmmaker (who also did light shows) Jerry
Abrams directed an exploitation doc on Bay Area porn culture
of the '70s; I can't recall the title.
4) Peggy Ahwesh worked on-set on some George Romero films but
I don't know the titles.
There are surely lots more…

Hi,
Does anyone know of any American avant-garde filmmakers
who also worked on low-budget features, B or exploitation
films in the late 60s and 70s? This could be in any area
of production or post-production...
Thank you,
Jared
