B-ROLL with Andre. By James N. Kienitz Wilkins / 18’30 / 2015 / USA

B-ROLL with Andre is equally a standalone movie and the unofficial “sequel” to Special Features (2014) and TESTER (2015). At some point in an unspecified future, the internal narrative picks up a thread of characters introduced in Special Features and discussed in TESTER, remixing current events, personal theories and video technology in an unholy alliance. The three movies were produced in sequential video formats (BetaSP, MiniDV, HD) which correspond to the timeframes of each story (prequel, original, sequel). However, if the movies are screened together, they would ideally be presented in order of production (Special Features, TESTER, B-ROLL with Andre).
