Professionally, filmmaking is fine art & construction work. Personally, my filmmaking seeks a literary & visceral cinematic language that demands you think-n-feel; that alternately punches you in the face and holds you gently.
Kindrid Parker is a writer, award-winning filmmaker, and a founding member of Last Wave Film.
Kindrid grew up in Columbia, South Carolina writing stories and experimenting with Super 8 film, video tape, and audio recording.
In 1992, he made his way to San Francisco and began his creative career publishing fiction and experimental prose through a number of literary journals, including 3AM and the surrealist cornerstone The Walrus. His voice as a writer and longtime experimentation with film naturally met, and in early 2007, Kindrid started Last Wave Film.
Last Wave Film is two things. It is first and foremost a cinematic sensibility: literary, visceral, hypnotic, and fitful; operating according to the rhythms and logic of the id. It is also a production company makes commercial content to pay the bills. Last Wave makes narrative films, documentaries, leftist political propaganda, and commercial work for companies like Adobe and Seimens. As a film educator, Kindrid evangelizes film production as a workingclass craft and fine art expression. In other words, Last Wave are proud artisans that make things for other people at the highest professional and creative standard, but are also artists, who make their own personal films with no consideration of the market.

Fuck trivia. A constant movie flickers on the backs of my eyelids. I've either declared myself dumbed or wizened by various traumas and existential spectacle. Whether my aim is to assault or assuage, hypnotize or awaken mutherfuckers, I only know that I am at essence... an entertainer.
“I'm an eye. A mechanical eye. I, the machine, show you a world the way only I can see it. I free myself for today and forever from human immobility. I'm in constant movement. I approach and pull away from objects. I creep under them. I move alongside a running horse's mouth. I fall and rise with the falling and rising bodies. This is I, the machine, maneuvering in the chaotic movements, recording one movement after another in the most complex combinations.
Freed from the boundaries of time and space, I co-ordinate any and all points of the universe, wherever I want them to be. My way leads towards the creation of a fresh perception of the world. Thus I explain in a new way the world unknown to you.”
― Dziga Vertov
