INERTIA: RE-MAKING THE CROW (2001) - A raw and self-reflective coming-of-age documentary, Inertia: Re-making The Crow follows two small-town teenagers over four years in the 90’s as they obsessively recreate James O’Barr’s graphic novel—only to unintentionally document their own artistic evolution. Through intimate behind-the-scenes footage and candid interviews, the film reveals the passion, persistence, and resourcefulness of youthful creativity. (60min)

JAMES O’BARR’S THE CROW (1998) - From its origins as the ultra-grainy, black-and-white extracurricular project of two high school teenagers to a celebrated home-video homage to James O’Barr’s blood-soaked, chiaroscuro comic strip, the IN-D Films adaptation of O’Barr’s original Crow series has been hailed by fans as “inspired,” “innovative,” and “powerful.” A year after his own tragic death, a young man rises from the grave to seek vengeance for the brutal murder of his fiancée. Through painful flashbacks, he relives their deaths and remembers their life together. Donning a sinister, mime-like visage, he stalks the murky alleyways and rain-slicked city streets, determined to exact a terrible and bloody revenge upon the gang that killed them.

This student film adaptation of James O’Barr’s graphic novel, THE CROW, was created from 1994-1998. It was restored and remastered from the original VHS source tapes in 2020. (60min)
