- Hi Mike,
-
- I was living in NY few years ago, and I remember your
wonderful Y2K video. I was really outraged when the FBI had the audacity
to interfere with your work as an artist. AND!!! Now Bush is requesting
Hollywood to make films about war !!! We strongly support your artistic
freedom!
-
- I received an email from a friend in New York yesterday
telling me to listen to Jeff Rense on the Internet. I was told it was your
video. As an admirer of your Y2K 'Military Takeover' video I want to tell
you that the "Death-Bed Confession" was wonderful, you did a
great job. Well, I wish you a happy new year and keep up your good work.
The FBI and Jeff Rense will make you one of the most famous artists in
the world. If you have a website were we can see a sample of your artwork
please let me know. AND, if you ever visit our beautiful Sydney please
stop over we will put some shrimps on the BBQ.
-
- I love your work.
-
- PS: my wife thinks that what you did to Jeff is the funniest
thing she ever heard. I went to your website http://www.crowdedtheater.com
but I found this email cswilson15@mindspring.com, so, I hope this email
will find you.

- "Not everything that is dangerous or offensive is
illegal" -- FBI Spokesperson quoted in the Village Voice
-
 "The distinction in the visual arts
between reality and not-reality has always been maddeningly vague. Mike
Z seeks to obliterate it completely. He is unscrupulous and without pity,
his work entertaining enough to hide his agenda: The complete ruination
of corporate information control, the self-crowned princes and princesses
of mediated idiocy, and the complacent purveyors of dumbed-down everything.
While many of his films are comedies, he most certainly isn't joking. "
--Ian Grey, author of SEX, STUPIDITY & GREED: Inside the American Movie
Industry
