“I was inspired to explore how and where graffiti and street art had penetrated the globe into some of the most unlikely places… At the same time it was interesting to see how some of the constants of graffiti exist nearly everywhere – from Perth to Copenhagen: the need to express oneself in public – and the addictive nature of getting up!”
— Jon Reiss

BOMB IT 2 explores the indigenous street art scenes in Singapore, Bangkok, Jakarta, Hong Kong, Tel Aviv, Perth, Melbourne, Copenhagen, Chicago, Austin and the Palestinian refugee camps on the West Bank. Using a ultra compact camera and sound package, Reiss traveled by himself to film artists and writers representing a wide range of cultures, styles and beliefs including Klone, Know Hope, Great Bates, Twoone, Darbotz, Killer Gerbil and Zero, Bon, Alex Face, Sloke, Husk Mit Navn, Ash, Phibs, Stormie Mills, Beejoir, Zero Cents, Vexta, MIC, and Xeme, and many more.

“Hip, hypnotic…engaging pic. Better Living Through Circuitry demystifies raves and sets the bar for others to explore this culture and music.”

BETTER LIVING THROUGH CIRCUITRY is a rare insightful look at rave culture and the electronic dance community. The documentary presents such dynamic aspects of rave culture as empowerment through technology, the DIY ethic and the flowering of a new spirituality embracing transcendence through sound and rhythm.

Survival Research Laboratories: 10 Years of Robotic Mayhem (1988)

Buy on Amazon

“Reiss has helped capture not only the ear-splitting techno-fury orchestrated by the remote-control-carrying SRL overlords, but the actual dangers inherent to each show. Flying glass, razor-sharp shrapnel and black powder explosions are unpredictable elements.”
Film Threat

Before Battle Bots, The Matrix, The Terminator or any of their imitators, there was Survival Research Laboratories. Founded by the visionary Mark Pauline, Survival Research Laboratories utilizes incredibly complex props and robotics to create a unique spectacle unlike anything seen before. In this DVD collection Jon Reiss encapsulates the humor, terror, artistic bravado and technical genius behind the menacing machines and weaves into a gloriously cacophonous whole.

Music Video Reel (1995-2000)

— Bikini Magazine

Jon Reiss has directed more than 30 music videos for Nine Inch Nails, The Black Crowes, Diamanda Galas, Kottonmouth Kings, Slayer, Danzig, Extra Fancy, etc.
