Welcome Back

Dirigimus Co-op alumni Remy Brecht-- he was the one responsible for most of the projections & movie screenings at the old warehouse space-- is directing a short horror film for this year's Damnationland festival, and is looking for contributions to help offset production costs. The film is called WELCOME BACK, and it involves death, grief, and sensory deprivation tanks. You can get everything from your name in the credits to an "orientation kit" from the fictional float therapy facility. Several Maine industrial/noise artists will also be contributing to the soundtrack. Thanks in advance for your support! 🖤 https://igg.me/at/welcome-back-film-2019

A film about loss & unconventional therapy. By Remy Brecht & DS Bullock for Damnationland 2019. | Check out 'Welcome Back' on Indiegogo.

Does anyone have any opinions about local food/music/venues/urban development/art or other culture here in Portland that they'd like to see voiced in print in a non-commercial format here in Portland? Dirigimus Cooperative is producing a small quarterly zine and we're seeking content that includes constructive but honest viewpoints. We have no $, we're not making $ on this, and therefor have no one to answer to. All sorts of content will be considered from critique to conspiracy theories. Thank you!
