MANN’S SPARKS

Director/Editor

In 2015, the original run of films was released on Christmas Day. The series was scrubbed from the internet, without any notification, by February 2016. A decade later the project was invited to screen at the 25th anniversary edition of imagineNATIVE in Toronto. In October 2025, the film will open the Drunken Film Festival in San Francisco at Other Cinema.

To head off any online copyright arguments, Mann’s Sparks will remain an in-person event, with more screenings to come.

Many thanks to the original editors Eric Marsh (“Levitation”/Miami Vice), Sean Gillane (“Sparks”/Thief, “Space Song”/Last of the Mohicans, “Wildflower”/Collateral), Kurt Walker (“10:37”/Public Enemies), and Don Swaynos (“Bluebird”/Luck). Special thanks to Adam Piron and Arlin Golden.

A fair use essay film.
