Adam Rehmeier Selects
Adam Rehmeier – director – Dinner in America
“When ARROW invited me to curate my own selects from their catalog I couldn't help but arrange my picks thematically into double-bills. Honestly, it would be super hard for me to keep it under 40 films if I didn't go this route. Plus, I'm just a big believer in the power of a well-curated double bill. Straight medicine for a cinephile's soul. I lean grindhouse for about 90% of the films I personally screen [my sweet spot being Slashers from '75 - '85] but my tastes are truly all over the place.”
