This month, we got to interview one of Putnam Rolling Ladder Co.’s employees, Joseph. I previously met Joseph when taking photos for a Day Job Magazine‘s article. This time he showed me how to actually build a ladder, at the company’s factory in Bushwick. He is a kind, calm man who has lived in Brooklyn for 26 years and cares intrinsically for the Polish community. I completely enjoyed hearing his story. Hope you do as well. Joseph lives in Greenpoint, [...]
Spectacle Theater, a place of viewing movies and gathering for a collective of filmmakers, collectors, editors, performers, and artists, was the perfect place to interview Nick Shimkin. He isn’t called a “walking IMDB” by Brooklyn friends for no reason, and he certainly contributes to the curating of DIY, independent film screenings that have become so important to the Brooklyn art culture. What does Brooklyn mean to him? Watch to find out. Nick Shimkin is the Film Program Coordinator for Brooklyn [...]
This music video for New York’s band Vaura, is about textures and imagery to weave together an abstract tale of a possible dimensional crossing between life and death. We were inspired by the beauty of black sand, tremendous rocks, the colors you see when glass hits light, and this record’s album art, photographed by Alexander Binder. Shot in 3 locations: Joshua Tree, Malibu, CA and Brooklyn, NY. Artist: Vaura / Track: “Drachma” Album: Selenelion Label: Wierd Records TRT: 04:24 Director/DoP: Tiffany [...]
We collaborated with Stephanie twice this month on a music video and photo shoot, and decided to celebrate her incredible talent and creativity through her specialized art form: make-up. While on set, we recognized that her skill lies in 2 parts: attention to detail by way of shapes and color, and the ability to ease talent to perform their best by her interaction with them. It’s not a surprise that she loves Brooklyn in the same ways we do, so [...]
Words to describe Jacqueline Castel? Talented, stylish, mystic, tasteful, reflective, thoughtful. We followed her on set earlier this month as she directed a music video, and later interviewed her in the basement of Academy Records on North 6th in Williamsburg, while employees of Sacred Bones Records worked on their next vinyl release. She has directed numerous, gorgeous music videos and films, several in collaboration with this Brooklyn record label. As a film director who has chosen the independent route, and [...]
Clinton Hill and rain… we definitely love to embrace Brooklyn’s moody moments. Upon the torrential downpour, we were privileged to watch Christian work on music from his very own bedroom. You’ve caught our ears, man. He’s talented in composing, can’t deny that; he’s also got a mouthful of opinions that is fun to hear. In this video, Christian worked on the song “She Said To Me” from his upcoming EP. Christian Banks is a Brooklyn-based producer/composer working under the aliases of Walrus [...]
It was an unusually warm day in late fall as we crowded Erin Batson’s Greenpoint living room, also known as her art studio. Her craft is soft yet deft, and so are her opinions of Brooklyn. It’s not easy to be an artist working hard 24/7 in this city, but Erin has a refreshing take on what keeps us all here in the first place. Visit one of her pop-up shops this holiday season at a local Brooklyn fair. Erin [...]
Not all of us can just get up and move, but sometimes we’ll find ourselves in new places. And sometimes it seems Brooklyn harbors the most of us. Dan Wyman shares with us his treasure hunting and journey to our side of town with his twin daughters. We sat in his office and marvelled at his gems in a corner of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Dan Wyman is a buyer and consigner of antiquated, rare, and out of print Jewish books in [...]
October in New York City brings cloudy skies and real stories, and we sat on our fire escape hovering in the hazy air to hear Gizmo Collado tell his. This born and raised NYC native recounts his memories of what New York once was, and gives us his opinion of what it has become. Gizmo Collado is a DJ, avid bicyclist, skateboarder, and has seen all the changes that New York City has gone through for the past 40 years.
It was a hot night along the borders of Bushwick and Bed-Stuy, whether holed up in Clem’s room, or on a rooftop facing the hospital lights of Woodhull Medical Center. Amidst the JMZ trains and a Friday night rehearsal, Aoi shows us that getting medieval is pretty much essential in our September video letter. Catch them at a show soon, friends, and be sure to dance in your armor. Aoi is a medieval band from Brooklyn. Formed in 2010, they [...]
