Movie Release: "Phico"_
// NOTES
From 2001 to 2005, a group of kids in rural West Virginia used a camera to create their own independent film productions under the name "Phico Phims." Phico is an anthology film composed of a selection of key works from their filmography.
Before YouTube and internet video were commonplace, videos were shared between friends by trading tapes. In that spirit, this film is structured in a similar fashion. This collection includes three entries in the mockumentary series "The Yeti," as well as the comedy/action films "The Game Genie" and "The Game Genie 2."
Between each film is a selection of short skits, music videos, stunt videos, commercials, and other content. Since VHS tapes were often reused to record over older footage, this anthology includes remnants of what once lived beneath — a ghostly collage of early-2000s media fragments.
