Blood & Flesh: The Reel Life & Ghastly Death of Al Adamson
BLOOD & FLESH is much more than the story of an extraordinary filmmaking existence, as it is brought to life through historical footage and the reflections of over 40 colleagues, friends, and admirers. It brilliantly portrays the worlds of California's outsider filmmaker communities in the 1970s, as well as the strange ways they collided with Hollywood mainstream and union indies. Regular Orson Welles crew and cinematographers like Gary Graver, Vilmos Szigmond, and Lazlo Kovaks worked alongside Bud Cardos— and at one time, Charles Manson!— on Adamson productions. Director David Gregory (founder of Severin Films, director of LOST SOUL: THE DOOMED JOURNEY OF RICHARD STANLEY'S ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU) spent years making this film, speaking to everyone from alien conspiracies to go-go dancers to the cops who investigated Adamson's murder, vividly encapsulating both a bold life and a tragic demise, with alien conspiracies, go-go dancers, and Colonel This is a must-see for anyone with even a passing interest in film.
