Introduction to Coven / Modus Operandi by Mark Borchardt
If you were at yesterday's screenings of Coven with co-hit Modus Operandi at the Video Archives Cinema Club, you would have witnessed this filmed introduction by filmmaker Mark Borchardt. Thanks to Matt Landsman, we've been able to make it available for our Season Pass holders.

Oh hi Mark
Incredible! What a treat!
Loved this introduction, and thanks Matt, Gala and company for another once in a lifetime screening event last night at The Video Archives Cinema Club!!! Was also a ton of fun and inspiring to meet and hear some of the truly unique MODIS OPERANDI behind the scenes stories from Frankie Latina and Mark Escribano as well!
If you’d like your experience shared in the newsletter, make sure to go to the community chat for the Cinema Club and write about it! Thanks for sharing.
I feel like every director I know has a signed VHS copy of Coven, even those without VHS players.
also worth sharing that director Frankie Latina came out to present the screening of Modus Operandi, with an emotional introduction (he talked about how hard the month has been since the fires). It was really cool and wholesome to see him come out.
Yes, the in person introductions are super special and for the audience that makes it to the theater — but we were happily able to share this one with our Patrons. If you want to comment on your personal experience seeing Frankie’s intro, post a comment in the Cinema Club community chat, I’d love to include it in next week’s newsletter!
Yesterday I had a day long writing session with my son. All 29 episodes of our limited series JOEY O are written. Episodes 1 through 12 are polished gems. Yesterday we polished episode 13, THUS SPOKE ZARATHUSTRA. We WILL get JOEY O made, but we also are making sure to enjoy the journey as we do as you , Mark, suggested: Follow our dream.
Mark is such an inspiration to aspiring filmmakers!
So cool. I love seeing Mark win.
You can't help but root for the American Movie folks. Plus, Mark seems like he's actually got a really good camera eye.
Great intro 💙
