CULT CLASSIC
2018-2025

Whether you call it fate or the butterfly effect a particularly special series of events had to take place for Cult Classic Magazine to be realized. Since its beginning in 2018, this magazine has been so much more than a print publication. In the past six years, it has taken on its own sentience thanks to this community's creative magnitude; the writers, photographers, filmmakers, musicians, visionaries, and every last artist making work that shapes a world in which we want to exist.

It feels naive to think that one day you’d become super intertwined with a once stranger, sharing pieces of your personality, interests, and creative practice, and cultivating it into something that can be shared with a captive readership. That’s been the case with everyone who has ever worked on bringing this magazine together.

We’ve worked tirelessly, called in favors, weathered catastrophes, and found ourselves in the most obscure places all to make this keepsake that we ultimately want to stand the test of time. Collaborators have come and gone all leaving a piece of themselves in the DNA of this archive. So much love to Ryan, Pete, Camille, Dane, Dom, Zi, Garrett, Josh, Ross, Carson, Yenee, Colton, and everyone we’ve had the honor of working with.

Like most beautiful things, this one must come to an end. As this time capsule comes to a close, this is a sincere thank you to all the friends caught in the makings of this forcefield. We’re so glad we’ve been brought together.

Our hope is that you’ll find Cult years from now, crack it open, and remember these stories that we’ve collectively imagined, sought out, and immortalized.

Cult Classic is for you.

Lovingly,

Justin, Apryl, Azha, Erika, Asharae, Esra, Cricket
