But hey, it worked: self-DVDing Monday Night at the Rock 'N Bowl
Over at Chicago's Sharkforum group art blog, I've got an easygoing chat with Genevieve Coleman, who's putting her likeable rockumentary Monday Night at the Rock 'N Bowl on DVD because no one else would. She's got the right attitude: "We had no money to begin with, no money at all, I mean barely enough to buy a tape that costs ten bucks, so there is no way I could have started shooting if I had been rolling film. But more than that, it would have been really difficult, logistically, to shoot in a place with 36 lanes of bowling going on, loud music, running around non-stop, fluorescent lighting, with a film camera.
"The smaller video cameras really made it possible to just roll tape, and don't stop until they lock the doors that night, in an affordable and easily obtainable way, you know, borrowing a camera from friends every Monday. But hey, it worked."
