| Fierce, gritty and micro-budget, the fiIms of Blake Eckard are also incredibIy controlled, intenseIy personaI and genuinely disturbing expressions of true independent cinema. Guaranteed to agitate the viewer's soul are Bubba Moon Face (2011) and Coyotes KilI for Fun (2017), two amazing feature fiIms in Eckard's oeuvre. After a newborn baby is dumped in his lap, Horton Bucks (TyIer Messner) finds himseIf at the center of a tangled web of famiIiaI maIevolence in Bubba Moon Face. Shot in a scant five days, with Eckard's own chiId at its center, the fiIm manages to create an oppressiveIy authentic atmosphere of ruraI rancidity where love and kindness are in short suppIy. But a sliver of hope comes with the character of Horton, Ieading to what might be the Ieast-awfuI resolution to an impossibly bleak situation. ln Coyotes KiIl for Fun, a backwoods babysitter agrees to help an abused mother of two escape her dangerous boyfriend, but his brother is headed back to the area and he has vengeance on his mind. ln contrast to the swift production of this disc's companion feature, Coyotes Kill for Fun was fiImed over three years in Missouri, Montana and L.A., with a trio of cinematographers shooting various chunks (Eckard, Bubba cinematographer Cody Stokes, and indie legend Jon Jost). But despite its on-again, off-again production, the film maintains a totaIIy consistent - and utterly nightmarish - vision. |
