Wrong Guys
A tale of smugglers and survivalists, Wrong Guys is a film adaptation of James Strahs’ neo-noir novella. It features Willem Dafoe as Jack Straw, a small-time operator, who ran a “pharmaceutical outfit” before an accident changed everything. Directed by Elizabeth LeCompte with cinematography by Ken Kobland.
Dailies
From 2010 to around 2020, the Dailies was an online video series begun by the Group’s resident filmmaker at the time Zbigniew Bzymek. Most of Dailies videos follow his relationship to the company and its work, offering glimpses into our rehearsals and archives, as well as short films, interviews, and other behind-the-scenes materials. Dailies videos in the “from the archives” series were curated by the Group’s archivist Clay Hapaz. View more of the project here.
