Help Me Find Richard Kelly's 1997 Short Film, VISCERAL MATTER
Burner account. I'm X-posting to multiple subs.
Okay-- I am desperately looking for this short. I'm going to post all the info I have so far on it, so please reply with anything you'd like to add.
I first learned of this short film while scrolling through Richard Kelly's filmography a couple of years ago. At the time, I was unable to find anything substantial about it besides a YouTube video showing a behind-the-scenes clip. At that time, I did a pretty quick search for the short, and I vaguely remember reading in a Reddit thread that the short was available on a DVD release of Donnie Darko.
This page shows a list of DVD releases of Donnie Darko, so as a last resort I might have to look on Ebay for every release of the film and purchase the DVDs. I was unable to find pictures of the back covers of most of the DVDs, which would probably have been a big help.
Here is an IMDB page for it: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0356179/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
There is one review on this IMDB page, but unfortunately there's no way to contact the poster to find out how they watched it.
As I write this I'm realizing I don't have a whole lot of information.
There's only 4 or 5 posts on Reddit referencing the short.
My last resort was Letterboxd. The short's page shows six people that have logged the film, but I honestly don't know how to contact these people.
I hope that I'm just looking in the wrong places and the short film is available on archive.org.
Anyways, if you made it this far, thanks for reading. I really hope this film isn't lost to time.
P.S. Let me know what other subs are a good fit for this. Thanks.
