Night of the Living Dead meets Naked Lunch



Following William Burroughs' and Brion Gysin's Cut-Up method...
Night of the Living Dead was cut into approximately 200 clips of varying duration, randomly re-assembled, then connected with dissolves of varying length. This method resulted in fragmented repetition of image and sound, which seems, at times, to mimic the structure and effect of a nightmare.
