At last! The mad geniuses behind such warped masterpieces as Don't Let the Riverbeast Get You!, Freaky Farley, Local Legends, and Slingshot Cops tell their shocking true story! In the first book about the greatest horror/comedy auteurs that Manchester, New Hampshire has ever known, Matt Farley and Charles Roxburgh take a film-by-film tour of their eccentric cinematic oeuvre. In a series of wide-ranging interviews with Will Sloan and Justin Decloux (hosts of The Important Cinema Club podcast), the mavericks behind Motern Media tell the epic story of a 20-year collaboration crafting cult classics on the margins of cinema. From wrangling zero-budget productions to tangling with fly-by-night distributors, they never lose the joy of making a backyard movie with friends. In the tradition of Hitchcock/Truffaut, Bergman on Bergman, and This Is Orson Welles, MOTERN ON MOTERN is a story of friendship, community, and the agony and ecstasy of filmmaking. Featuring bonus interviews with Motern cast members and a never-before-seen Farley/Roxburgh screenplay, it's the definitive resource for indecorous deviants everywhere! "Will Sloan and Justin Decloux have created the definitive work on two of cinema's most inspiring artists. Matt Farley and Charles Roxburgh make films for all the right reasons, if not always in the precisely right ways, and their output and methodology merit study by any gestating independent filmmaker." - Simon Barrett, writer of The Guest and You're Next
