Baklaycore

An avant-garde experimental documentary eighty years in the making photographed and conceived by Nikko Martinez. A harmonious matrimony of image and sound, this anti-film serves as retrospective of his family's history, personal failures and rejections, his on-going independent experimental filmmaking career, a reflection of his ongoing scrimmage against a mental illness, and an optimistic glimpse of his coming days. BAKLAYCORE is not cinema, it's Nikko Martinez's life.
