Joey calls Dr. Brucato and Josh Diaz true-crime podcast to discuss NY Times article, Victims Rights and Restorative Justice, 2/10/2026
Joey Huertas calls Dr. Brucato and Josh Diaz PODCAST to discuss NY Times Kohberger article, Victims Rights, Idaho 4 and Restorative Justice, 2/10/2026. 3am. In criminology, restorative justice is a method or ethos of criminal justice that seeks to repair harm after crime or violence by empowering the harmed (victims) and harming parties (offenders) to participate in a dialogue. In doing so, restorative justice practitioners work to ensure that offenders take responsibility for their actions, to understand the harm they have caused, to give them an opportunity to redeem themselves, and to discourage them from causing further harm. For victims, the goal is to give them an active role in the process and to reduce feelings of anxiety, unfairness and powerlessness. Restorative justice programmes are complementary to the criminal justice system, including retributive justice. In the matter of defining what "punishment" is, it has been argued that some cases of restorative justice constitute an alternative punishment to those atoning.

A 2025 Interview Film of MORTIIS by Jane Public / Joey Huertas

Joey Huertas interviews filmmaker Ken Jacobs, 2021.
Filmmaker Ken Jacobs and his wife, painter Flo Jacobs interview with filmmaker Joey Huertas. This interview covers the history and creation of the Millennium Film Workshop and Journal - both staples of New York City's underground experimental avant-garde film culture since the 1960's. This interview was recorded during the Covid-19 lockdown Pandemic.
After the interview, Ken shares his latest new film, 'TWO WRENCHING DEPARTURES' in its entirety.
Ken Jacobs (born May 25, 1933 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American experimental filmmaker. He is the director of Tom, Tom, the Piper's Son (1969, USA), which was admitted to the National Film Registry in 2007. His Star Spangled to Death (2004, USA) is a nearly seven-hour film consisting largely of found footage. Jacobs taught at the Cinema Department at Harpur College at Binghamton University from 1969 to 2002. His son Azazel Jacobs is also a filmmaker. The style of Jacobs is largely concentrated around the technique of "found footage" - the author works with a stranger in a kinomaterial, sometimes occasional, conceptualizing it on the mounting table. So not only "Star Spangled to Death" appeared, but also another cult film Jacobs "Tom Tom Son Dudocar." "Tom Tom" consists of a multifaceted and detailed analysis of the 1905 film, in which the timing tape increases with eight minutes to almost two hours. Committed in 1969 "Tom, Tom, The Piper's Son" is one of the first examples of deconstruction in the cinema. Skyped, researched, recorded, edited, cut and completed by Joey Huertas, 2021.

Joey Huertas interviews Amos Poe, 2021.
Joey Huertas interviews the NO WAVE punk movement pioneer Amos Poe on the making of his feature-film 'Alphabet City.' 1984's 'Alphabet City' now exists as an unintentional document and study of the cultural divide and gentrification taking place in New York City's lower east side and the economic disparity that impacted that class-segregated community in the 1980's. The film 'Alphabet City' was created by a group of underground experimental film artists who united together to tackle making their first Hollywood movie against all odds.
"The Millennium Film Workshop and Anthology Film Archives were the experimental Meccas where I cut my teeth between 1972 and 1975. As a newcomer to NYC both impresarios, Howard Guttenplan and Jonas Mekas, were extremely generous in their way to young filmmakers trying to make their own mark. It was at the Millennium where I was introduced to the work of Ken Jacobs, Chris Eckoff, Tony Conrad, Birgit Hein, Michael Snow, Jack Smith, Stan Brakhage, Yvonne Rainer and many others."- Amos Poe, 2021
Amos Poe is one of the leading figures of the No Wave Cinema movement (75-85) that grew out of the bustling East Village music and art scene. The No Wave paralleled the punk music explosion and included Jim Jarmusch, Abel Ferrara, Eric Mitchell, James Nares, Beth and Scott B, Vivienne Dick, Sara Driver, John Lurie, Richard Kern, Nick Zedd, Bette Gordon, Melvie Arslanian, Charlie Ahearn, among others - they embraced B-movie genres, the avant-garde, & the French New Wave to create a fresh, vibrant American art cinema. Poe is considered by many (see John Pierson's book, "Spike, Mike, Slackers & Dykes", Legs McNeil's "Please Kill Me", or C. Patterson's "Captured") to be the "father" of the modern Indy American cinema. In '75 Poe and Ivan Kral (Patti Smith Group, Iggy Pop) produced, edited and shot the now classic and definitive punk film, THE BLANK GENERATION. This film chronicles the seminal performances of Richard Hell, Patti Smith, Blondie, Ramones, Talking Heads, Television, Heartbreakers, Wayne County et. al. In '76, Poe wrote, produced, and directed his debut groundbreaking feature, UNMADE BEDS, an homage to Godard's "Breathless" and the French New Wave. In '77, using a car loan for $5,000, Poe wrote, produced and directed his most influential film, THE FOREIGNER, starring Eric Mitchell, Patti Astor, Duncan Hannah and Debbie Harry. In '79-'80 Poe concluded his "underground trilogy" with the bleakly beautiful SUBWAY RIDERS, the first foray in color. These bohemian films starred the downtown demimonde of artists, musicians and poets. During this era, Poe also directed the legendary weekly TV show, GLENN O'BRIEN'S TV PARTY. In '83-'84, Poe co-wrote and directed ALPHABET CITY (w/ Vincent Spano, Kate Vernon & Michael Winslow), his first 35mm film, and directed numerous music videos (Run DMC, Animotion, Anthrax, Juice Newton etc.). In '85-'86 he wrote ROCKET GIBRALTAR (Burt Lancaster, Macauley Culkin, Kevin Spacey, Patricia Clarkson, Francis Conroy, Bill Pullman, John Glover). In the late '80's, Poe applied himself to writing numerous screenplays, among them - "Port of Call" (Chiesa Prod.), "The Golden Eagle" (Columbia Pictures), "Mrs. Dogg" (Island/World), "Beach House" (Weintraub Ent.), "Paint. It Black." (Ulick/Mayo Prod.) "Caught In A Whirlwind" (Cabana Ent.) and "Pony Rider" (Fox). Poe returned to filmmaking in '90 with the acclaimed TRIPLE BOGEY ON A PAR 5 HOLE (Island/World). In '92, Poe produced Steven Starr's JOEY BREAKER (Skouras/Paramount) starring Richard Edson, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Gina Gershon and Michael Imperioli. Poe returned to scripting in '93-'94 with a vengeance, writing: "Tar Baby" (from Toni Morrison's novel for Willi Ramaeu), "Kid Killer", "La Pacifica" (released as a graphic novel by DC Comics), "The Guitar", "The Lodz 7 ", "The Grey Nun", "Hard On Berlin", "The Listener" (David Brown/Paramount), "Rattle My Cage" and "Dead Weekend" (with novelist Joel Rose). In '94 Poe directed the Ed Wood inspired sci-fi DEAD WEEKEND (starring Stephen Baldwin & Bai Ling).
As a filmmaker, Poe cites the work of Jean-Luc Godard, John Cassavettes, and Andy Warhol as primary influences; he expands his list of artistic influences to include de Kooning, Morandi, Picabia, Warhol, Clemente, Olivier Mosset, Richard Prince and Duchamp. An extensive archive of Poe’s writings and other works is housed at The Fales Library in New York City.

Joey Huertas interviews experimental film icon NICK ZEDD (Cinema of Transgression)
'Skype' interview with experimental film artists Nick Zedd and Joey Huertas, 3/9/2017. Interview commissioned by Kent Theatre in New York. Zedd is living in Mexico making films with his wife and son at the time of this interview.
Nick Zedd is an American filmmaker and author from New York City. He coined the term Cinema of Transgression in 1985 to describe a loose-knit group of like-minded filmmakers and artists using shock value and black humor in their work. These filmmakers and artistic collaborators included Richard Kern, Tessa Hughes Freeland, Lung Leg, Annie Sprinkle and Lydia Lunch. Under numerous pen names, Zedd edited and wrote the Underground Film Bulletin (1984–90) which publicized the work of these filmmakers. The Cinema of Transgression was explored in Jack Sargeant's book Deathtripping (Creation Books). Mr Zedd's autobiography Totem of the Depraved was published by Henry Rollins' 2.13.61 publications in 1996. From 2004 to 2008 Nick Zedd produced and directed The Adventures of Electa Elf, a low-budget TV series out of NYC. Since moving to Mexico in 2011 Nick Zedd has edited three issues of Hatred of Capitalism magazine in which his Extremist Manifesto was published, sending shock waves through the art world. Recent films shot in Mexico City include Dr Shinto: Frustration, Cockfight, Paradise Lost, Demonic Sweaters: Love Always Love and a series of music videos for reggaeton singer Natalia Ibenez Lorio aka #laBAE.

'WHERE'S THE CHILD? ' Expanded Cinema live performance, written & directed by Joey Huertas
Fusing film, dance and performance art, award-winning film artist and social activist, Joey Huertas a.k.a. Jane Public collaborates with actress, dancer, Suzana Stankovic in, 'Where’s the Child?', a dramatic and surreal new work of EXPANDED CINEMA that reveals the trauma involved in high-conflict divorce cases and the effects of parental alienation tactics imposed on children. Debut at the MONO NO AWARE VI exhibition of film performance and cinema installation on December 8, 2012 at 8:00pm at Lightspace Studios in Brooklyn, NY.SPECIAL THANKS TO: THE ALCHEMICAL THEATRE LABORATORY, GIA LISA KRAHNE, CARLO ALTOMARE and MONO NO AWARE."Expanded Cinema" is an eclectic name for many sorts of film, drama, dance and projection events. The term was first used in the 1960's in the context of multimedia performances. Essentially this form of art means glancing sideways at the "multiple screens and multiple images linked to handheld projectors, multi-screens and live theatrical performance. "Spiritualization of the image," expanded cinema instantiates the primacy of the dream as an analogy for film, into which it might be finally absorbed by virtue of shared hypnogogic imagery and the dissolution of the senses.
Expanded cinema echoes the late-Romantic sensibility of the fusion of all of the senses, and the symbolist origins of the first European avant-gardes.
Press Review: The apparent inconsequential narrative dance fragments of the piece and disjuncture of sound from visual imagery (performance) created an experience like no other. Most of this work appeared to have been observed from a life as it passes through some kind of direct-cinema camera machine that is no longer in commission. This, for me, was an experience of more myth that any type of reality. I remain very effected. So effected.

Joey Huertas introduces Millennium Film Workshop 11/17/2022 screening at MoMA, Museum of Modern Art.
Joey Huertas, Executive Director of The Millennium Film Workshop since 2017, introduces the second evening of a two-night 'Sold Out' film screening aimed to invoke the spirit of the early City Symphonies and apply it to the New York of the late 20th century and the early part of this century. Each filmmaker in this program has been affiliated with Millennium over the years, some educated through its workshop programs, others active members of their ongoing screening community. Each film offers its own particular and idiosyncratic view of the city, but it is hoped that the screenings will offer something more than just a compilation. Rather, as with any great symphony, the whole will be greater than the sum of its parts. Perhaps, when these short films are viewed together, the viewer will gain a deeper understanding of the city, its inner workings, its organic growth, and the profound changes that it has undergone in its recent history.
With this series the Department of Film celebrates its acquisition of the Millennium Film Workshop and Howard Guttenplan Collections. Film selections and program text are by Joe Wakeman and Victoria Campbell.

'Outsider Art' exhibiton curated by Joey Huertas
Art exhibition for 'Outsider Art' of incarcerated women curated by Art Therapist, Joey Huertas. Works included are from female inmates in CIW (Correctional Institution for Women, Corona, Ca), Central California Women's Facility at Chowchilla, Ca (CCWF) and various other long term rehabilitative facilities for women. This exhibition was curated for female 'outsider' artists who are self-taught in prison and some with life sentences. This exhibition was presented at Dowling College and Purchase College.
Curated, organized and arranged by Joey Huertas.
What defines outsider art?
'Outsider Art' is any work of art produced by an untrained idiosyncratic artist who is typically unconnected to the conventional art world—not by choice, but by circumstance. The “classic” figures of outsider art were socially or culturally marginal figures.

On Griffin Alley (Crown Heights, Brooklyn-Street Theatre Performance)
Joey Huertas directs Connie Winston (Law and Order) in a contemporary piece that describes updated judicial corruption statistics using the story of an executed (and recently exonerated) woman, Lena Baker. The piece is performed as Street Theatre employing multi-screen visuals and live performance, as it relates to Ms. Baker's personal story and our existing U.S. systemic corruptions. The work was written by the two artists over a one year self-imposed research residency.
The artists are currently in pre-production for a commissioned film that will involve exploring issues on an international scale.
Performed live in Crown Heights, Brooklyn N. Special Thanks to the FIVE MYLES ART GALLERY.
