Power: More With Less
For about the last year and a half, a MUST SEE on any NYC Cinema Tour has been an elevator ride at The Standard Hotel in The Meatpacking District. Riding up and down with Marco Brambilla’s HeavenHellPurgatory video collage dazzles and inspires, encouraging me about all that it is still to come. The piece manages to add on to much of the greatest cinema Hollywood has offered, and make it new again, glory and damnation simultaneously reborn and in tune with your choice of destination.
I guess I haven’t been alone in hoping to find ways to apply Marco’s art to new projects. Kanye West has tapped him to launch the promo for “Power” and is it ever. It is a great cut that takes the puzzle that is Kanye and The Sistine Chapel as a starting point and leaves us hungry for so much more. I can’t help but wonder what this would be like if it went on for hours more.

In the end, The Way We Get By by far exceeded our expectations. It was an unbelievably rewarding journey during one of the most difficult economic times in our country. We learned to never underestimate the support that can come from that small niche audience every film has. The people of Maine knew our story and wanted to help support our success. In every screening we’ve attended, there has been someone in the audience with a Maine connection there to support us. Going local paid off for us nationally—literally. Maine was a critical factor in making The Way We Get By a national success.
And an amazing blessing for us as well. Leading up to our national broadcast, a group of vendors in Maine decided to throw us an amazing wedding in Maine—-for free. A dream wedding we could never afford. Over 60 wedding vendors from across the state donated their services for our special day.
I was fortunate to take part in episode 6 of Sabi Pictures’ “The New Breed”, a co-production of Filmmaker Magazine and The Workbook Project. They shot seven episodes around the LA Film Festival this year and really put together something nice.
