''Filter'' (stylized as ''FILTER'') was a seasonal, off-beat entertainment
magazine on American music which was founded in the summer of 2002. It featured commentary and photos of up-and-coming musicians and filmmakers ranging from actors to writer-directors. Each season's issue (winter, spring, summer, fall, and holiday) highlighted a reasonably well-known cover artist while also taking a look at smaller artists under the heading "Getting to Know". The magazine also included reviews of forthcoming albums and DVDs.
With the motto "Good music will prevail",
the publication aimed to bring
indie music to the forefront through its reporting while also highlighting established artists in long-form interviews. The magazine used to contain a "PSSST!" compilation with each issue.
''FILTER'' was published by Alan Miller and Alan Sartirana. Its editor-in-chief was Pat McGuire, its associate editor was Breanna Murphy, and its layout designer was Melissa Simonian.
''FILTER'' also had a marketing arm which operated independently of the print publication. The magazine started a seasonal festiva
Culture Collide now produced by founde
Alan Milleran
COLLiDEafter Miller and Sartirana parted ways amicably in 2014, with Sartirana, McGuire, and Simonian going on with much of the ''FILTER'' staff to found ''FLOOD Magazine'', a quarterly entertainment publication.
