since
the second season of nirvanna starts this friday, october 27th on viceland and city, i decided to make a thorough filmography related to the show, matt johnson and the zapruder films team,
from the more ‘official’ credits like the original web-series, its reboot and the two
feature films to the more hidden, ephemeral works - hidden on the dvds or online - which are just as important. taken as a whole,
these smaller, somewhat obscure videos add a larger dimension and complexity to the main body of work as they provide opportunities to create and experiment, test jokes and engage in the short form. but what makes them great, as with the official credits, is how they become opportunities to explore the world, engage folks and through their imagination create fantasy narratives. these videos could be witty and sweet, funny and innovative, about their influences or pop culture. i hope this master list is of
interest, some links are embedded. – d.d.
