Print Gets Revenge with Cashiers du Cinemart #16

Aug. 16, 2011 - PRLog -- After hanging up his word processor in 2007, it looked like Mike White would never produce another issue of the cult movie zine Cashiers du Cinemart again.  Encouraged by the Revenge of Print movement begun by Atomic Books in Baltimore, Maryland, publisher/author/editor Mike White created the 16th issue of Cashiers du Cinemart (ISBN: 978-1-60543-584-8).  

Stories featured in the issue include an overview of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise, a warning to naive filmmakers about "scam fests," interviews with Adam Resnick and Heywood Gould, reviews of Georgia Peaches, Breaking Glass, Downtown 81, Babe: Pig in the City, Reindeer Games, and so much more.  Authors include Cashiers du Cinemart regulars Rich Osmond, Skizz Cyzyk, Mike Malloy, Chris Cummins, David MacGregor, Mike Sullivan, and Andrew Rausch along with newcomers Dion Conflict, Karen Lillis, Kyle Barrowman, Joshua Gravel, Jef Burnham, and Ralph Elawani.

The issue is digest-size and boasts 102 pages with a full-color cover illustrated by artist Stephen Blickenstaff.  Blickenstaff has created some iconic art including the cover for The Cramps' Bad Music for Bad People album.

Cashiers du Cinemart began in 1994 as a homespun zine crafted with scissors and a glue stick. Be the end of its initial run, Cashiers du Cinemart was a full-fledged magazine with international distribution.  In 2010, White collected the best articles from Cashiers du Cinemart into the book Impossibly Funky, published by BearManor Media.  With the sixteenth issue, White pushes boundaries yet again.  The issue is available via a lo-fi Xerox machine version and a print-on-demand version.

Distributed by Ubiquity (http://www.ubiquitymags.com), issues will be available at better independent bookstores starting Fall 2011.
