THE CORNSTARCH GIZMO from Undergroundfilm > Comedy on March 25, 2008 75 views / likes
Driven by the need to heal, an idealistic young inventor builds a bizarre machine which he fuels with cornstarch. "If cornstarch can be used to heal diaper rashes," he reasons, "it can be used to heal the world's rashes." So he summons one person after another to his stately Brooklyn home, and they all desperately offer themselves to the odd-looking Gizmo (made from a lawn ornament and other random objects).

Dumbass from Dundas from Undergroundfilm > Comedy on February 20, 2008 15 views / likes
In the middle of the Nevada desert, two lunkheads get tossed out of separate cars by their so-called friends. One guy is wearing a Twisted Sister t-shirt and one is wearing a Kiss t-shirt. They don't like each other. They have problems. This film really resonated in the alternative film scene in the late 80s. Very few artsy fartsy film folk were shooting narrative, especially of the angst-filled variety. There was a hunger for this stuff. This predates, but anticipates, the underground film movement that would blossom in the early 90s.
