We just wanted to share what’s maybe our favorite movie ever – previously only available on VHS – now online, in ten installments, thanks to Youtube and user “funkanthropic”. Released in 1984, this doc was directed by Martin Bell as an expansion of an article written by Cheryl McCall and photographed by Mary Ellen Mark that appeared in LIFE magazine a year before.
Check out writer/director Matt Porterfield’s previous work on the Baker Artist Awards site:

This is the official blog home update source for all things METAL GODS, the new motion picture gnarly film by Matt Porterfield. At this very moment, we are casting: looking all over the east coast for teenagers that rule. Our first open auditions will be held December 6th at AVAM, the American Visionary Art Museum, at 800 Key Highway in Baltimore City (see map below). If you’ve found this site through MySpace or Facebook or Twitter or Flickr you might know that already. And if you want to attend, please get in touch so we can schedule a time with you. We expect a large turnout and want to see e v e r y o n e.
And if you’re reading this and you’re like, but I’m not an actor, don’t worry. If you’ve never acted before that’s cool. And if you have acted before, that’s cool too. It’s all cool.
And we’re not just casting teenagers – there are over 30 speaking roles in the film and 100’s of extras. Though the primary roles are for people 14-23, there are adults in the film, too. There’s a woman in her 80’s (octogenarians holla), a kid age 6, some dudes in their 30’s, and a woman age 35. It’s diverse. Get at me! Be in this movie!
