[Here] exists a kind of nakedness, a peeling away of propriety, a questioning of behavioral and social systems--and yet I find their work refreshingly playful and deeply generous.--Deborah Stratman, University of Illinois at Chicago

The literary post-punk short movies of Emily Vey Duke and Cooper Battersby have been tearing up the festival/gallery circuit for the past fifteen years with their blend of bedroom pop, perverse animations, and hopes for fame. In this collection of award-winning scripts, creative writings, and critical missives, scholars, video legends, and animal experts--including Steve Reinke, Sarah Hollenberg, Akira Lippit, and Tom Sherman--weigh in on why these movies matter.
