“The things that make this movie difficult to put in movie theaters are the same images that social media companies have propagated globally and profited off of. There’s a very interesting tension between who is allowed to address certain things in our society, what kind of position they’re allowed to have,” Daniel Goldhaber tells CULTURED. The 34-year-old filmmaker has devoted more of his time to making things happen in the real world than consuming them in the virtual realm, going all the way back to his teenage years when he was mounting plays and directing short art films with his longtime creative partner Isa Mazzei. But, in just three movies, Goldhaber and Mazzei have established an incisive and specific body of work investigating the friction between performance, violence, and digital worlds today. So when Goldhaber and Mazzei were approached by executives at Legendary Entertainment about a remake of a legendary ’70s grindhouse picture, they were intrigued. ‘Faces of Death’ is an artifact from the video nasty era, whose lore was built through whispers and furtively passed VHS tapes. It inspired a macabre fascination, rumored to contain footage of real deaths, prompting bans in the U.K., Australia, and Germany. Goldhaber and Mazzei see ‘Faces of Death’ as a precursor to the world we live in today where the most bleak, terrifying imagery imaginable in 1978 was now available 24/7 on the App Store. Link in bio to read about how they adapted the film for our times. Words: @_karlyq_ Photography: @jasonllester

Honored to collaborate with @deathcabforcutie on the video for “Riptides”, the fantastic first single from their new record. I’ve been listening to Death Cab’s work for as long as I’ve been a music fan, and it was a wonderful experience bringing this to life with them.
