Ed halter from NYC underground film festival compared the film lil star duster by saying, " if Kenneth anger had directed a western it would look like this film". Film core awarded the film makers with a film core grant of 800$ usd... A gift from an age transgression cinema lovers from the early 90s. ..they continued by making the film "Monolethea" in black rock desert where they continued the theme of internal sensations and the desert of the mind, joy and jubilation of youth in moments of independence and freedom." The trick was keeping the film at the right temperature-something people working in video do not have to worry much about nowadays. It reached 110 degrees of heat in the desert,"

Mike disalvo's wife Gen guay DiSalvo appears in Monolethea(rip-who passed away from cancer) Mike was in the middle of touring with Montreals cryptopsy, while opening for slayer across US, he had his hand in some on set recordings in black rock desert and the like.

While living in the ramparts of Vancouver's downtown main and Hastings , I wrote "Goin ape" a live action feature inspired by Richard Kern and Greg Araki films, it originally began with a cartoon and went on from there, upon my return to Montreal I was funded by main film and calq and filmed Gen Guay and Mike DiSalvo in the lead roles. " Goin ape"1& 2 are distributed through Darkside releasing as well as "the horror" a horror film I made in keeping in the tradition of avante garde film makers and tip of the hat to university Concordia's curriculum viewing.

I'm now in a band called ZMOG in Montreal Canada, making films still and writing books like "all purpose" & "purpose filter"- and painting a lot.
