For three years and one half, a creeping pulse emanated from the basement of Hotel Champion. It was the product of the young artists who comprised Squid Films inc. Youths gathered in awe to observe these visionaries in their element. Illuminated by the projections of their eccentric experimental films, they performed original compositions comparable to no others at the time. Clark Hunter encountered a young man named Richard Greene at a picture show and soon their collective fascination with film led to experimentation. Being musicians, the tow inevitably collaborated and soon recruited Jens Haussler to their ensemble. After making several untitled short films, the company embarked on a project entitled Architeuthis. En route to an island for on-site shooting, it is speculated the ship struck shoals and wrecked. Remains of the vessel washed ashore, but as for the crew, it is assumed they perished. In its brief existence Squid Films presented a remarkable experience for local audiences, thus forming the tale that lurks among history’s depths.
