Doin’ It In The Park: The Creative Journey - Episode 1
Great Idea. I can wait for the full doco to drop. Man I miss NYC!
"Doin' It In The Park: Pick-Up Basketball, NYC" co-directors Bobbito Garcia and Kevin Couliau visited 180 courts throughout NYC's five boroughs to make their debut documentary. They traveled to a majority of the locations by bicycle, carrying camera equipment and a ball in their backpacks. Their creative journey began many years before starting the self-funded project though, with a deep desire for playing as well as taking photographs in the world's Mecca for the outdoor sport. In this episode, the filmmakers share what led them to document all the innovation that exists in the "City Game," and the creativity that shines through the New Yorkers who religiously head to the schoolyard to call "Next!" Stay tuned for more episodes this summer revealing Bobbito Garcia and Kevin Couliau's creative process in making what Henry Chalfant (Style Wars) calls "A perfect portrait of urban culture!"

A Photography Book About Vinyl Collectors - Dust & Grooves.
Dust & Grooves is a photo and interview project documenting and exalting vinyl records, the people who love them, and the musical heritage they carry.
With a website launched in October 2008 by Brooklyn-based professional photographer and vinyl addict Eilon Paz, D&G profiles individual collectors from all over the world in their natural environment – usually at home with their personal collections. Each subject is interviewed in depth about their devotion to vinyl, then each conversation is paired with a beautiful series of portrait photographs by Eilon that capture the heart and soul of this passionate avocation. Together, words and images tell the story of the love affair between collector and collection, and preserve a record of music that otherwise might be lost.
Dust and Grooves is such a fantastic website. It would be great to see this project get the money it deserves to go to print. Pledge anything over a buck and show your support over HERE

Dark Days Documentary (Underground Lifestyle)
I'm sure many have already seen or heard about this doco. I hadn't . It's now over 11 years old but I'm glad I found it. An amazing documentary.
"Novice filmmaker Marc Singer lived in the bowels of a midtown Manhattan railway station for two years to shoot this harrowing account of the day-to-day existence of the homeless. Shot in noirish black and white, Singer shows how society's discarded and disenfranchised fashion a community of sorts in the sunless labyrinth of the station's transit tunnels. Though told without narration, a dozen or so individual stories emerge. Dee (the sole woman depicted in the film) lost all her children in a house fire while she was high on crack; Ralph remains inconsolable after his five-year old's rape and mutilation during a stint in prison. In the final reel, Amtrak sends in armed police to clean out the tunnels, citing health concerns. However, the subterranean tenets happen upon a stroke of luck, as an NYC social worker discovers a cache of previously unclaimed public housing. Featuring a sparse soundtrack by DJ Shadow, Dark Days won the Grand Jury prize for cinematography, the Freedom of Expression award, and an audience award at the 2000 Sundance Film Festival."
