Schmatta: Rags to Riches to Rags - Teaser

I had the opportunity to cut a teaser for the upcoming feature documentary Schmatta: Rags to Riches to Rags in which I assistant edited and did research for. If anyone has the privilege to enter the tents at Bryant Park for this weeks September Fashion Week, you will see a promo I also cut specifically for the tents, but who gets into these things anyways?

SCHMATTA to premier at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival

Many of you know I have been working as an assistant editor on a documentary; that documentary is entitled Schmatta: Rags to Riches to Rags.

"The Garment Center is the heart and soul of Midtown Manhattan and the backbone of the fashion industry. It was the gateway for many immigrants to the American Dream. Now, it’s in danger of disappearing. This HBO feature documentary explores the rise and fall of New York's fabled schmatta (rag) trade as a microcosm for the economic shocks that have changed our lives."

The Toronto International Film Festival will take place September 10 - 19th as one of the leading film festivals in the world. Stay tuned for more festival announcements and check out Blowback Productions on the web (website, facebook).

i am not ok.

Bicycle Film Festival

Put the Fun Between Your Legs has found its place at the 2009 New York Bicycle Film Festival.

"The Bicycle Film Festival celebrates the bicycle.

We are into all styles of bikes and biking. If you can name it-Tall Bike Jousting, Track Bikes, BMX, Alleycats, Critical Mass, Bike Polo, Cycling to Recumbents- we've probably either ridden or screened it. What better way to celebrate these lifestyles than through art, film, music and performance? We bring together all aspects of bicycling together to advocate its ability to transport us in many ways.
Ultimately the Fest is about having a good time.
We have been fortunate enough to include works of established artists such as Jorgen Leth, Mike Mills, Jonas Mekas, Blonde Redhead, Swoon and Michel Gondry among others as part of our programming.
Many of the artists who have participated in the Bike Film Fest such as the Neistat Brothers and Lucas Brunelle are gaining more and more recognition for their work."

Put the Fun Between Your Legs will be screening Saturday June 20th at 7 pm as part of Program 7 - Urban Bike Shorts, and again at 9:15 and 11:15.  There are tons of films being screened, check out the schedule here.  All films are screening at Anthology Film Archives.

PS: Bicycle Film Festival Orlando and Miami are coming soon, for all of my Florida friends.

She hits a detour when she meets a group of crust-punk street kids on their way to the Mesa, a mysterious place where "rules don't exist." Out of options, Georgia must choose between her fragile family bonds and an escape to the unknown.
