Angelicism makes a film about and with its own opps. Reference this later. The script was produced from 'Zucked' @themasterofcum instagram story post crashouts. References Spite Magazine RIP. Influenced by Ye's CUCK/WW3/IN A PERFECT WORLD and Adorno's 'definition of humanity as that which excludes absolutely nothing.' An unethical econography. Fuck video art.
