MOSTLY TRUE: THE STORY OF BOZO TEXINO
by Bill Daniel
It's possible Bill Daniel is the most inspiring filmmaker of our day. With an
impressive filmography that includes work on Craig Baldwin's Sonic Outlaws,
Daniel has crafted a remarkable first feature with his
twenty-years-in-the-making Who Is Bozo Texino?, a documentary about modern day
hoboes, rail workers and a forgotten outsider subculture. In the companion book
to the film shot aboard speeding freight trains, Daniel mixes experimental and
documentary to provide a captivating look at a little-known art form. Tracing
the origins to boxcar graffiti from over 100 years ago, Daniel follows rail
graffiti's evolution to modern day hobo gatherings, freight hopping trips and
secret hobo jungles only known to tried and true hoboes. Along the way Daniel
interviews numerous old timers who have spent years on the rails drawing their
monikers, among them graffiti legends Colossus of Roads, The Rambler, Herby
(RIP) and yes even the ever-illusive Bozo Texino. The interviews provide a
fascinating glimpse into the harsh realities of tramp life while also providing
a unique backdrop for the more ambient railroad-blues infused soundtrack.

THE PHANTOM: LAW OF THE JUNGLE GN
by Joe Gentile & Paul Guinan
Every society has its laws: some written, some unwritten, and some are forbidden
to even speak aloud. These are the laws that get passed on from one generation
to the next. The penalty for breaking these laws is often swift and
uncompromising. Combine the lack of this knowledge with the unhinged mind of a
deadly assassin who is calling out the Phantom, and you get nothing but fire!
