Short Works by Brian Standing 2001-2008

DVD Video $15



Have you enjoyed Prolefeed Studios' short online works, but are tired of hunching over your laptop screen to see them? Maybe you just want to sit comfortably on your couch and watch videos with your trusty remote by your side. Maybe you just don't truck with this whole internet downloading-and-streaming nonsense and long for some physical media you can hold in your hands. Whatever your reason, Prolefeed Studios has the answer, with its new DVD release: Creative Dissent: Short Works by Brian Standing 2001-2008.

Prolefeed Studios director Brian Standing has been producing documentary videos in Madison, Wisconsin for over a decade. Creative Dissent takes the best of his short works, all previously only available online, and presents them in their full-resolution, DVD glory. Brian has this to say about Madison, his adopted hometown, and the setting for nearly all the works on Creative Dissent:

"Former Wisconsin governor, Lee Dreyfus, famously described Madison, Wisconsin as '30 square miles surrounded by reality.' Rather than taking Dreyfus' comment as an insult, Madisonians wear it as a badge of honor. I moved to Madison in 1997, and quickly became captivated by its politically unorthodox, endlessly creative residents. This compilation of short films celebrates a rich tradition of protest, street theater, poetry, art, music and satire. It is dedicated to all who seek to improve the imperfect reality that surrounds them."
