So pumped to be part of the Chattanooga Film Festival again. This year, the “Summer Camp for Cinephiles” is featuring my 2001 documentary, INERTIA: RE-MAKING THE CROW, which chronicles the 4 years in the ‘90s my friend Matt Jackson and I toiled over our no-budget VHS remake of James O’Barr’s iconic graphic novel. I’m looking forward to joining the jam-packed virtual lineup with custom video introductions and a forthcoming Q&A. Big thanks to the good folks at CFF for embracing my misspent youth.
The following is from their "Chattanooga Film Festival Lobs A Motion Picture Molotov With Its 2025 Opening Night Selection And First Full Wave Of Titles And Events" press release:
SPECIAL SCREENING OF ‘INERTIA: RE-MAKING THE CROW’ AND ‘JAMES O’BARR’S THE CROW’ PRESENTED BY DAVID ULLMAN
There are few films from the 90s that have the lasting legacy of 1994’s THE CROW. From the tragic loss of Brandon Lee to its iconic soundtrack, the film’s influence on genre cinema is still felt today. Though there have been sequels and at least one … ahem … “re-imagining,” there’s only one Crow remake in the hearts and minds of our team here at CFF, and that one was made by a literal 14-year-old. CFF is proud to present David Ullman's INERTIA: RE-MAKING THE CROW, a making-of documentary chronicling the production of his youthful, DIY, shot-on-VHS reimagining of the classic film, followed by a special screening of his guerilla remake.
And if you can’t wait until June, you can still nab a copy of the limited-edition VHS from my pals at LunchmeatVHS.
