and i have to admit I FELT THE RAIN WAS GOD’S SPIT COMING DOWN IN GLOBS. COOL ON MY HEAD FOR HIM TO REACH DOWN AND POLISH ME TOO
a new zine about a weekend in berlin this summer. a record breaking heatwave, full moon, torrential rain, lightening storms and me waking up and dancing like i was possessed
in which i write about the agony of polishing the BRANDES holocaust memorial stolpersteine in Kreuzberg - rain - during a genocide which quite obviously has nothing to do with them - lightening - with my father and brother - full moon - and trying to understand - any of it really
GOD, REACH DOWN AND TOUCH MY FACE

with “the moment” behind her, @bertiebrandes is already onto the next thing.
in our latest issue, the o.g. zine-maker and screenwriter tells @nrips how the influencer is the new auteur, what we should actually be using a.i. for, and why five devoted readers can still mean more than a million views.

@bertiebrandes has been writing since a young age, first drawn to poetry and literature as a teenager before going on to study English Literature at Queen Mary in London. In 2010, she started @themushpit with now-stylist Charlotte Roberts, which was a satirical, feminist, independent magazine that both parodied the fashion world and shed light on political and social issues. While Mushpit ended in 2018, its values—of womanhood, selfhood and personhood—have carried through in Brandes’ work, including her editorial features for titles like The Times, The Fence, AnOther or Dazed; her self-published zines that she sells online through her very fun website; or her script for The Moment, co-written with and directed by @aidanzamiri. When you scroll through (or click across) these pieces, the relationship between image and text becomes so pronounced it seems as if everything has been published in 2004 and then scanned back for our 2026 screens. Brandes is concerned with how we consume, process and perceive written information. No wonder she has taken a liking to film.
When I first met her, albeit briefly, it was at a reading at Rose Easton Gallery, where she and Thom Bettridge (yes, the @i_d Editor-in-Chief [she’s well connected]) read ‘How Will I Have Sex When I Am Free?’, an A6 zine compiling nude images with sporadic clauses of a Reddit thread that never fill the page. When Brandes sits down for this conversation on a Monday afternoon in Kentish Town, she is wearing oversized vintage Chanel glasses, a flouncy white cotton nightshirt tied with a black leather belt, and a grey oversized T‑shirt. She is glamorous and unapologetic. Just like her writing.

“I wonder if that is the first Dazed magazine shout-out in a movie? Obviously, Bertie and I are very much friends of Dazed!” laughs @themoment director @aidanzamiri, alongside co-writer @bertiebrandes.
Centered on the aftermath of Charli xcx’s Brat album cycle, the mockumentary casts Charli as a heightened version of herself, navigating the absurdities of pop stardom and the consequences when a cultural moment spirals out of control.
Zamiri and Brandes first met in a cafeteria at Central Saint Martins, when Brandes was running indie zine The Mushpit, and Zamiri, then a first-year graphic design student, had engineered the encounter.
“Aidan became our muse…a lot of people didn’t like what we were doing, but Aidan actually just got it,” reflects Brandes. “That’s why our friendship and creative partnership has lasted so long – he loved the silliness, but we could also talk about the deeper meanings.”
At the link in bio, the duo speak to @tiiarna about how they made their first film together, the online discourse... and Charli’s phlegm in the opening scene. 🔗
