SHUT UP LITTLE MAN! An Audio Misadventure
Tuesday, October 4 at 7:30pm

Live via Skype: Mitchell D.
In 1987, Eddie Lee and Mitchell D., two young punks from the Midwest, moved into a
low-rent apartment in the Lower Haight district of San Francisco. Through paper-thin
walls, they were informally introduced to their alcoholic neighbors, Raymond Huffman, a
raging homophobe, and Peter Haskett, a flamboyant gay man. Night after night, the boys
were treated to and terrorized by a seemingly endless stream of vodka-fueled altercations
between the two unlikely roommates with one screaming over and over again, "Shut up
little man, shut up little man." Oftentimes nonsensical and always vitriolic, the diatribes
of Peter and Ray were an audio goldmine just begging to be recorded and passed around. For
18 months, Eddie and Mitch hung a microphone from their window to chronicle the bizarre
and violent relationship. Not satisfied with simply documenting these outlandish events,
director Matthew Bate has concocted a darkly comedic exploration into the blurred boundaries
among privacy, art, and exploitation. (USA, 2010, 91 min.)
