Brent Green is a visual artist, filmmaker, and storyteller working in the Appalachian hills of rural Pennsylvania. Green has crafted his rickety folk-punk style, in which he applies new technologies to  staunchly DIY roots, into everything from an animated feature film (Gravity Was Everywhere Back Then, 2010) to a hacked LCD and steel animation machine (To Many Men Strange Fates Are Given, 2012) to an in-progress film combining live action and photography collage (Anatomical Maps With Battle Plans). His films have screened, often with live musical accompaniment, at MoMA, New York; the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles; the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; and the Sundance Film Festival.
