interning at a documentary studio

blowback productions

while i wait to hear back from wnyc, i figured why not do something else with my time other than watching house reruns that i dvd'd? so, i'm interning at a really cool documentary studio in chelsea that is in a sweet building with sweet freakin views.

i watched "selects" of two docs they're currently working on - brick city and out of fashion.

brick city is about newark, nj. i found it to be REALLY interesting, and i REALLY, REALLY want to know what's going on with the people in it.

out of fashion is about the demise of the nyc garment industry, and it was really depressing. especially since i don't have a paying job right now. that will all change soon, but still.

i've made a new frand - who's profile pic on facebook features her dressed in a bathing suit and heels. she has no shame and i am lovin her ideas already. she's working on another project that involves the music of the african diaspora.

i read the other day about a dj named frank gossner that is right up her alley. he gave up a super lucrative dj'ing career and just moved to africa to collect records. that's some balls!

we're off tonight to a drum n bass event. shara and i are also going to panty raid. /hi kicky
