celebrating 25 years since we've cleaned behind the refrigerator!

fancy text that says "the dirt palace" in a dusty, dark teal. the word "the" is smaller and each letter is on a diagonal line while the words "dirt" and "palace" are the same size as each other and in a straight line.

LIBRARY HI_LITE!!!!!

Hi everyone!

My name is Mikayla, and I’m digging through the Dirt Palace archives this Summer, having a blast :) The plan is to update all you lovely readers with some of my personal favorite finds every Friday over on the @dirtplace instagram account. This is one of my favorites so far!

It’s a Kinofist Imageworks zine sporting a manifesto calling for the creation of amateur film. I don’t call myself an artist (which is very hard because I’m surrounded by lovely artists at Dirt Palace, but I’ve worked with oodles of oodles of film and always find myself procrastinating for fear of not being good enough. Thanks David Kinofist for that inspiration push to just go make!
