Hello to what may be the last Kino Ventura blog post for 2024! It's been an exciting year for me in regards to what I do here - I've been able to contribute to a couple of zines, I was able to join the Minnesota Film Critics' Association, and I was even able to host a live screening of one of my favorite films. I wasn't sure that this additional project would be ready to launch before the month was out but it appears that the stars have aligned so I'm happy to announce the release of my new crime film zine: Apache Revolver!
This is a collection of film writing and reviews, a couple of lists, and some artwork by yours truly covering my favorite genre of film. The selections are what you might already expect from me: older, relatively underseen, largely hardboiled genre pictures from all over the world. It's 26 digest pages of writing and artwork plus the color cover and I'm selling it online for 6 bucks plus tax and shipping. If you are a fan of 70s genre pictures, yakuza films, poliziotteschi, French gangster pictures, or my writing in general, I think you'll find something to appreciate here. Even if that's not your bag, I'd love if you could help spread the word to the crime film fanatic in your life. Hopefully this goes well and there will be future issues and collaborations with other genre folks.
If you do pick it up, I'd love to hear what you think. Don't hesitate to send me an email or poke me on bluesky or instagram
It's been a hard year for a lot of people and next year doesn't look like it will be letting up on any of us. I hope you're able to stay safe, stay sane, and stay healthy and I hope you can still find time to appreciate things like wild old genre pictures. Thanks as always for checking out my stuff!
