INERTIA: RE-MAKING THE CROW (2001) - A raw and self-reflective coming-of-age documentary, Inertia: Re-making The Crow follows two small-town teenagers over four years as they obsessively recreate James O’Barr’s graphic novel—only to unintentionally document their own artistic evolution. Through intimate behind-the-scenes footage and candid interviews, the film reveals the passion, persistence, and resourcefulness of youthful creativity.

JAMES O’BARR’S THE CROW (1998) - From its origins as the ultra-grainy, black-and-white extracurricular project of two high school teenagers to a celebrated home-video homage to James O’Barr’s blood-soaked, chiaroscuro comic strip, the IN-D Films adaptation of O’Barr’s original Crow series has been hailed by fans as “inspired,” “innovative,” and “powerful.” A year after his own tragic death, a young man rises from the grave to seek vengeance for the brutal murder of his fiancée. Through painful flashbacks, he relives their deaths and remembers their life together. Donning a sinister, mime-like visage, he stalks the murky alleyways and rain-slicked city streets, determined to exact a terrible and bloody revenge upon the gang that killed them.

This student film adaptation of James O’Barr’s graphic novel, THE CROW, was created from 1994-1998. It was restored and remastered from the original VHS source tapes in 2020.

This exclusive presentation features custom introductions from David Ullman for both the documentary and the adaptation, including rare Crow memorabilia and never-before-seen footage.
