The Independent Critic reviews DROOL

Richard Propes at The Independent Critic reviews DROOL.  "There are moments in the film when the intimacy is interrupted by something jarring and disturbing yet horrifyingly familiar. It is as if we are looking at life, the creation of it or the birthing of it or the disrupting of it or the destroying of it, but still life..."

Diabolique Magazine references CONTACT

Honored to be mentioned alongside Adam ("You're Next") Wingard and Eduardo ("The Blair Witch Project") Sanchez in Diabolique Magazine's review of British filmmaker Ian Clark's THE FACILITY.

"Some of the most fascinating films in the horror genre explore the use and abuse of psychotropic drugs. Effective recent examples include Adam Wingard’s nightmarish Pop Skull (2007), Eduardo Sanchez’s chilling Lovely Molly (2011), and Jeremiah Kipp’s haunting short film Contact (2009). These directors present wholly frightening explorations of the effects of mind-altering substances on the minds of fragile people who have chosen the hallucinatory world of drugs over the cruelty of sober life."

DGS Producer Lauren Rayner attends Coney Island Film Festival

Thanks to producer Lauren Rayner and writer/producer Joseph Fiorillo and actor Lukas Hassel for representing THE DAYS GOD SLEPT at the 2013 Coney Island Film Festival.

Joe brought his mother and father.  I'm sure they all went to group therapy afterwards...

Dominick Sivilli directs MMPR Episode 1

My frequent collaborator Dominick Sivilli just wrapped principal photography of directing episode 1 of MMPR.  Congratulations, Dom!

Humbled by comparisons to Nicolas Roeg and the great Chris Marker

"This darkly poetic short has managed to capture the spirit of Nicholas Roeg and distil it down to 24 frames per second. Kipp’s use of lighting flares, shadow and comparable framing within the editing process flirts outrageously with the idea of past and present, of cause and effect ...There’s a richness to the film’s colour palette that must seriously defy budget...reminiscent of Chris Marker at his very best."

Great review of THE DAYS GOD SLEPT and other films at Knifed in Venice

Knifed in Venice covers THE DAYS GOD SLEPT, CRESTFALLEN, CONTACT and DROOL. Honored by the coverage...

"Set in a strip club, THE DAYS GOD SLEPT tells the tale of a blossoming relationship between a dancer (Lauren Fox from "Pi") and a client (Malcolm Madera) as the two come to grips with their unspoken past in a landscape abandoned by all things pure. 

The conversation leaps through time and location yet remains unbroken creating a general feeling of memory.  A feeling that the events are not necessarily occurring on screen but are being remembered, and remembered ever so slightly inaccurately. 

One can’t help but feel that Jeremiah Kipp has the nucleus for a feature film -- as everything and everyone involved in the production seem to scream to the audience creating the kind of emotional connection that’s usually incredibly difficult in such a short time."

Be careful to avoid a few spoilers (though he doesn't discuss the climax) in the opening paragraphs before the interview. I talk with intense Jason Thorson of Ravenous Monster about the making of BAGGAGE. "If you approach the work with hard-driving force, the camera responds and moves with a nervous energy. The actors are ready for combat."
