LOS ANGELES FLIPSIDE FANZINE THE NARRATIVE DOCUMENTARY / FILM. EPEISODION ONE, TWO & THREE.

An episode is a narrative unit within a larger dramatic work or documentary production, such as a series intended for radio, television, or on-line consumption.

Episode derives from the Greek term (Ancient Greek: ἐπεισόδιον / epeisodion), meaning the material contained between two songs or odes in a Greek tragedy.

Between the songs are the staff punks. Those who created a music fanzine.

“Those Who Caused Considerable Trouble.”

Main narrative threads are taken from Los Angeles Flipside Fanzine editorials.

Each episode is 60 to 35 minutes.

Synopsis:

Los Angeles Flipside Fanzine was created in Whittier California 1977.

All five original staff members graduated from Whittier High School: Pooch (Patrick DiPuccio), Larry Lash (Steven Shoemaker), Tory (Jorge Torres), X-8 (Sam Diaz), Al Flipside (Al Kowalewski).

Flipside documented the early punk scene.

Pooch, Larry, Tory, X-8, and Al decided to do what no one else was doing. Write a fanzine. Live music was raw, loud, and intense. The clubs and bands were happening. A punk scene was growing fast, and punks gathered together in clusters.

“In the vacuum of outer space particles tend to clump together. We clustered together as young punks, and we created a scene that still amounted to something. We were a forgotten stagnation of youths that yearned for change. We were unhappy with our world and ourselves.”
