![]() Karl Hinz: I made a number of shorts with Shelly prior to coming to San Francisco but it all really started when you Ginger and Dirk allowed me to film your Punk Globe Parties at the Fab Mab. Punk Globe: Was Justice for Jennifer your first film ? Karl Hinz: Yes, of course, it was very flattering. Punk Globe: You were slowly becoming known as the John Waters/Andy Warhol of the west coast. I owe a lot to you Ginger and to Jennifer Blowdryer for all the great dialogue you two came up with. Hence the huge cast in the last “Pit and the Pendulum” scene that resulted in a big turn out when we showed the complete finished film. I soon realized the more people in each episode the more that would come to the screenings. The more we did this the more people would want to get involved. Remember we would shoot scenes and then show them at Punk Globe Parties at the Fab Mab as we went along. There was no attack, just a guy hanging out in the restroom. That story about “Bathroom Attack” started small and ended up as a serialized film. ![]() However, your vision saw a movie and we started filming "Justice For Jennifer" can you elaborate? Punk Globe: I can vaguely remember telling you about an incident that happened in the bathroom at was it The Mabuhay with Miss Blowdryer that was really not that big of a deal. She did work with me doing layout and typesetting, some of which was for Punk Globe. Shelly is a talented bassist and played in The Saucers along with other bands. Coming to San Francisco was a lynchpin moment in my life. If I had not met her I doubt if this interview would even be happening. It was Shelly that first introduced me to Punk Rock. Over the years we travelled and lived in Europe, New York, Atlanta and finally landed in San Francisco in 1979. Shelly Wolfe and I had been together since the summer of 1975 when we first met in Houston. Our 35 hour M-F only work week allowed him the time to do his music, build legendary guitars, design band and movie posters and many props for my films. You and Shelly had been pals before the print company am I right? You had hired the talented Erich Yunker as a printer and you also had Shelly Wolfe from The Saucers working there as well. Punk Globe: How great! She liked the Soaps. Punk Globe: How long had you owned the print shop on Bush and Montgomery? ![]() I remember in 1961 I saw Roger Corman’s “The Pit and the Pendulum” and so loved the ending I re-created it as the grand finale of “Justice for Jennifer” twenty years later. She often took me to Sunday matinees at a small theater in our Philadelphia neighborhood. ![]() She was an avid fan of soap operas and anything with James Garner in it. I did get my love of film and television from my Mom. My father was a labor leader and my mother a stay at home mom. Punk Globe: I'm sorry Karl, it has been years.Was anyone in your family involved with film? Karl Hinz: No Ginger, I actually was born and raised in Philadelphia. Can you tell the readers a bit about your early years? Did you grow up in San Diego? Zak Kerber said RAD Soap has been in all 50 states and he looks forward to continuing the growth process.Punk Globe: It is great to be in touch with you Karl and thanks for the interview. As Kerber and her son and co-founder, Zak, conversed with Mandsager, they realized Pine Ridge and RAD Soap would make a wonderful team, especially since RAD Soap was looking to broaden its market to reach more customers nationwide. The week after the networking event, Mandsager and the Kerbers sat down and talked in depth about what both companies were looking for. Kerber and Mandsager first met at a virtual networking event by FuzeHub. Since the business’ conception, the brand has been featured in Nylon Magazine, BuzzFeed and Bustle. In 2014, RAD Soap landed a contract at Whole Foods and the business grew. The store boasts a lineup of face and body soaps, creams, natural insect repellants, exfoliators and more all products are produced in Albany. After a financial crisis in the family, she turned her passion for soap (and her ability to make the best bar she knew) to start her company. RAD Soap Co., located in Stuyvesant Plaza, was started in 2009 by Kerber. “Plus, services like ours really help small businesses maximize output and reduce costs, so it’s a great match.” “Our people really thrive in these types of roles and it gives them a sense of pride, both in the way they are contributing to society and through the paycheck they earn with their work,” Mandsager said.
