Each third issue of the Apocalypse Later zine will be dedicated to film and many of those are part of a series called The First Thirty. The concept is to look at how major filmmakers started out their careers by reviewing each of their first thirty films, in order. I'll post the reviews here at Apocalypse Later Film but they'll be available in print too in a quarterly zine, each dedicated to a single name.
So far, I've completed the First Thirty of Nicolas Cage, Pam Grier and Vincent Price and I've started on Michelle Yeoh and Jack Nicholson. The completed zines can be read at Apocalypse Later Press and bought in full colour print from Amazon.
