By: Mike White the zine mutated over time to a magazine with international distribution, long after the siren song of the internet wooed most small publishers to its cheap epublishing. The best of Cashiers du Cinemart has been collected into one volume, 2010’s Impossibly Funky, a treasure trove of articles about film and popular culture. Mike White will be touring New England in Summer 2011, reading, signing copies of his first book, and doing movie/shorts screenings. White caused a stir the last time he was in New York City during 1995's New York Underground Film Festival; his short film WHO DO YOU THINK YOU'RE FOOLING--a comparison of Quentin Tarantino's RESERVOIR DOGS and Ringo Lam's CITY ON FIRE--earned the ire of Miramax films as they campaigned for the Academy Awards for PULP FICTION. Read all about the controversy and about White being banned from the New York Underground Film Festival by OLD SCHOOL director Todd Phillips in the opening chapter of Impossibly Funky: A Cashiers du Cinemart Collection.
