Im posting this here, instead of the media section, as some of you know, i work professionally in the film industry. my companies mostly make Television commercials, infomercials, short films, feature films, music videos ETC. i also have consulted on a few tv shows, for martial arts and stunts and the like.
Recently i started producing a documentary entitled "Pier Kids: The Life" its a film about Transient Youth of color(who are mostly LGBT) who congregate on new york cities Christopher street. many of whom are homeless having been ejected from their homes and rejected from their families for their sexuality. the film explores the extreme conservatism amongst the communities of color when it comes to sexuality, the notion of if you dont have a family make a family, and the legacy of the stone wall riots.
I'm asking all my martial arts brothers and sisters, who have an interest in seeing this doc as we make it to join us and like our facebook page, ive been coming to the forums since i was 15, im not 28 and this has always been a place of many different thoughts, beliefs and systems. if this documentary somehow offends your belief, why i cant honestly apologies for that i can say its not my intention, and i ask that you just bypass this post. but for those who are open to seeing a entirely different world, one filled with hope, vibrancy, comedy and energy please follow:
