Jonathan Culp
JC is a nonbinary Hamilton-based filmmaker, musician and archivist on ODSP. They have produced, directed and edited over 40 short films and videos, as well as experimental features and film installations. Across five decades of underground media, they have worked extensively in found footage collage, social justice and personal/confessional modes. Their work often draws on pop culture history in both content and form.
JC operates The Unpopular Archive, which has preserved the orphaned media of several Ontario artists posthumously. The Unpopular Archive YouTube channel posts ephemeral physical media daily, and the Unpopular Arts Bandcamp page will soon host JC's electropop act Diddlyshit.
