West Hollywood window sill: The 7th floor view from McCarthy's room while staying with filmmaker Craig Brewer. The four Super 8 cartridges amounted to three beautiful starlets at different speeds.



Stalag Stags

... and the Last of JMM's Super 8 Nudie Cutie Punk Rock Stag Loops!

... with NEW music by Scott Bomar, Jack Oblivian and Tyler Keith, and Fingers LIke Saturn!

2000: Filmmaker Mike McCarthy (as "Pop Kop") tours Europe with his films SUPERSTARLET A.D. and ELVIS MEETS THE BEATLES.

Hamburg Germany, 2000: Mike McCarthy hosts a nightclub premiere date which brought out the punk rock tangent and an unusual underground Super 8 clique. A mystery girl assisted McCarthy in filming three starlets with a variable speed Super 8 camera as he directed.

the curtain falls...

2003: BROAD DAYLIGHT (the nudie cutie sequel to SHINE ON SWEET STARLET) nears completion. McCarthy thinks to add the German loops but they are nowhere to be found.

2005: FOUND! The German Super 8's are found in an arid closet in the Mohave desert at the home of Emmy Collins - but the film was never processed. There is some doubt that an image remains on the negative. Scottie Diablo then hosts the film at his air-conditioned home until Mike makes it to L.A..

Spring, 2007: Upon his next return to L.A., Mike and Emmy book a session at Pro 8mm to process and transfer the footage. Pro 8 does a super job as usual. The lost films look fantastic! The starlets look better than McCarthy remembered.

Late Summer, 2007: Guerrilla Monster will stream the loops with music right here at the site - so stay tuned!

p.s.: Hey Germans! Mike has lost the names and contact info on the folks who assisted and appeared on this Stag project so long ago. Please email Mike at jmm@guerrillamonster.com with any pertinent info!

Thanks to Scottie, Emmy and the Pro8 guys: Scott and Kevin.
