Film artist Jem Cohen found the mainstream Hollywood film industry incompatible with his sociopolitical and artistic views. By applying the DIY ethos of Punk Rock to his filmmaking approach, he crafted a distinct style in his films through various small gauge formats of Super 8mm, 16mm, and video.

"...it's very inspiring to me, to see people kind of take something outside of the industry, outside of the music industry, and it gave me something of a template to work in film outside of the film industry."  - Jem Cohen
