In the Glow of Darkness + Q&A

With the beating-heart-DIY spirit of George Kuchar and densely layered multimedia frenzy of Ryan Trecartin, L.A.-based filmmaker Tucker Bennett creates a gonzo, yet entirely plausible, sci-fi vision of our near future. In his fifth feature, Bennett melds a sincere love of ‘90s direct-to-video aesthetics and bygone blogosphere eras with a creative use of generative AI to create a kaleidoscopic, chronically-online cyberpunk-noir. With endless creativity and aesthetic integrity, Bennett lampoons and celebrates the myriad sub-cultures that populate today’s internet, betting that, in our post-ironic content-slop world, he can still stun his audience.
