What I Did Last Summer

About This Movie

What I Did Last Summer is this intriguing little compilation from '91 that captures the raw energy of downtown New York's nightlife. It’s low-tech but that just adds to its charm, ya know? The Butchers' Vogue piece really stands out with its vibrant portrayal of a voguing waiter and some desperate characters intertwining in a meat market restaurant after hours. It’s gritty, and the atmosphere is electric, like you're right there in the thick of it all. The Draglinquents, on the other hand, dips deeper into the drag culture, highlighting those underrepresented voices in a heartfelt way. This collection offers a unique glimpse into a very specific time and place, with performances that feel authentic rather than theatrical.

What I Did Last Summer is quite a rare find for collectors, as it was released in limited formats, often overshadowed by mainstream titles from the era. Its DIY aesthetic and cultural significance in the context of New York's nightlife make it a unique piece in any collection. Interest is slowly growing as more people seek out indie films that document the underground scenes of the early '90s, making it a noteworthy title for enthusiasts of the period.
