Oh, and Peter Mays made an exploitation feature as well.

 

Best,

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.

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

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
