Before the Hollywood Backlot
a zine by Daniel Berman
full size / full color / bound
Zines like Before the Hollywood Backlot renew my faith that
print is still alive. Then again, it’s been an amazing month here at DJ
Frederick’s Zine Cottage, I’ve read Cheer
the Eff Up by Jonas, two issues of Hootenanny
& several issues of Something For
Nothing – zine life is on the upswing!
Before the Hollywood Backlot is a fanzine celebrating (you
guessed it) – film. It’s full color, and contains articles on unfinished Orson
Welles projects, art deco style, Manhattan
in film history (with an emphasis on Woody Allen), World War II propaganda
films, a list of lost (presumed forever) films, & tons more. Before the
Hollywood Backlot is full of exceptional content presented in an accessible
style. Even the “coming attractions” blurb at the end makes me want to read the
next issue – television’s worst broadcasts you’ll never see. Right up my alley!
