On December 6th 101 Films will release trailblazing mystery The Last Broadcast (1998) for its worldwide Blu-ray debut. Title 023 on the 101 Films Black Label, Stefan Avalos and Lance Weiler's chilling feature debut is disturbing, ambiguous, and a landmark in the history of the found footage genre. An early all-digital motion picture, its format precluded it from wide release at the time, and while the phenomenal commercial success of the following year’s
The Blair Witch Project sparked the golden era of found footage, The Last Broadcast’s influence and cult status has
been steadily growing since its relatively low-key original release. This Limited Edition Blu-ray release includes a new
30 minute interview with the directors, newly commissioned slipcase artwork from legendary comics artist Stephen
R. Bissette, and a booklet with expert writing on the film and the found footage genre from the directors of feature
documentary The Found Footage Phenomenon (2021).
Synopsis: In 1995 a four-man team from the cable-access program Fact or Fiction braved the desolate New Jersey
Pine Barrens determined to deliver a live broadcast of legendary monster, the Jersey Devil. Only one came out alive. The lone survivor was sentenced to life in prison, but filmmaker David Leigh is convinced that he's innocent. Could the Jersey Devil still haunt the barrens?
