Hey Tiger

About This Movie

Hey Tiger is a curious little piece of cinema that pulls you into the raw atmosphere of 90s Baltimore. Shot on Super 8mm, it captures the essence of performer Joe Medusa, whose unique presence fills the frame even in stark black and white. The film plays with pacing, creating a dreamlike quality that ebbs and flows, while the soulful sounds of The Dramatics provide an evocative backdrop. The practical effects are minimal but effective, lending an organic feel that modern films often lack. There's something compelling about the way it encapsulates a specific time and place, making it a distinctive artifact for anyone interested in the intersection of performance art and early indie filmmaking.

Hey Tiger remains a niche find in the world of film collecting, particularly for enthusiasts of Super 8mm and performance art. Its scarcity is partly due to the unknown director and limited distribution, which has led to a small, dedicated following. Collectors appreciate its raw, unfiltered glimpse into a bygone era, and there’s an interesting blend of art and music that resonates with those who seek something outside the mainstream. Since it’s not widely available on home video, any copies that surface tend to be of particular interest to collectors looking for unique, offbeat cinematic experiences.
