Adam Rifkin is a cult film director who's been making movies for the last 30 years, perhaps best known as the helmer of 1991's "The Dark Backward," 1994's "The Chase," and 1999's wildly entertaining "Detroit Rock City." He's not someone who's experience tremendous success in Hollywood, but he's kept going, making odd pictures and surviving quickie shoots, doing the work to remain employable. It turns out, moviemaking was always in Rifkin's blood, with "The Adam Rifkin Film Festival" collecting short endeavors created during his formative years. The release is obviously odd, but it does offer those who enjoy Rifkin's creative voice a chance to see where his sense of humor and love of visual chaos came from, with 22 offerings detailing a profound love of mischief, parody, and animation.
