Depressing Prospects Films
2003-2012
Paul Tahi Baker
1969-2012
Depressing Prospects Films is finished, everything I wanted to achieve with it has happened. Also, one of my best friends, and the star of "Fear of Lemonade", Paul Tahi Baker, killed himself. So, i thought this would be a fitting time to end Depressing Prospects. All Depressing Prospects videos and DVDs will continue to be available.
I will continue to make films, but only under the "Labrecque Art and Film" name.

The home of avantgarde writer/director Brian Labrecque and his fucking genius films and comics.
Brian Labrecque is an avant-garde independent filmmaker living in Seattle, WA(temporarily in Boston).
He is known for his gender-bending films such as 2004's Far Too Gone, which tells the story of Josh, a strange guy in Seattle who thinks he's Tori Amos.
2006 saw the release of his short film Meeting Hillary, which told the story of two young witches in a battle to the death. In 2007, he released Fear of Lemonade, said to be an epic mind-bending psychotronic film about a shisha addict who is tormented by a Girl Scout from Hell.
In 2010, the epic graphic novel "Effing Brutal" was released as a book AND video graphic novel DVD, the story is the continuation and full realization of the adventures of Josh and his army of losers!
For 2011, Depressing Prospects released Deliriotic, a psychotronic short film about journeys into another dimension.
Self-taught and a devout follower of John Waters , Don Coscarelli and Mike Judge, he never attended film school and has never been to a writing workshop.
He denounces formal film school training as "emasculating" and like "trying to become smarter by getting a lobotomy". His films have won critical acclaim from film festivals as diverse as the Southside Film Festival in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania to Festival Du Cinema De Bruxelles in Brussels, Belgium.
