WHAT IS FILO? FILO was founded by Luke Wyatt and James Brophy. The name FILO stands for Friendly Intervention Liberation Organization. The acronym FILO reminds us, conveniently, of filo (or phyllo) dough, which bakes into innumerable flaky layers. Our intake lens has baked into something similar: we appreciate experience through many layers of irony and parentheses, and spit it back out with these new tags attached. Another FILO imperative is healing the gap between hot and cold or funny/beautiful expression. We believe that Sly and the Family Stone and Graham Greene do not represent antagonistic aesthetic values. This site intends to express our baklava sensibility. It is a clearinghouse and outlink node for all things FILO. I make videos for other people. I also put videos on your venue wall. To commission a video mulch, or for live mulch projection inquiries, contact here. ----------------------NEWS/UPDATES------------------ There is a new video mulch for Autre Ne Veut's "Soldier".
