Burke Roberts

In order to realize his work, Roberts formed "The Bizzurke Army Underground Film Militia," (also known as "Bizarrmy") a network of artists and technicians who devote their time and talents pro bono to his productions.

His first film "Jesus Rides Shotgun" gained a cult following and began an expanding body of challenging short works: "Handicap City", "Echo Of A Man", "Insult To Injury", "Some of An Equation", "Substance Ovuse", and "Sky Drops" - All of which have played in dozens of cities and countries due to Roberts unique approach of touring his films in a tradition historically practiced by independent musicians.

In March 2010 The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) presented a full retrospective of Roberts work as the Midnight headliner of their annual Young Directors night.

Within his first year he directed videos for Swahili Blonde, Patrick Park, The Mccarricks, Sistol, Spindrift and Hollie Cook which premiered on such online venues as Pitchfork, NME, Paste Magazine and the Los Angeles Times.

Participants included Cory McAbee ("The American Astronaut"), creators of Adult Swim's Metalocalypse, Wu-Tang Clan's Raekwon and Warhol Superstar Cherry Vanilla.
