A nice snapshot of New York today, showing the diversity of locs and visitors, and generations, also, from Akira Mowatt to Leo Gutman… Plus a Connor Kammerer cameo al‹ays amount to something, doesn't it?
This clip despite being filmed on an advanced technology mobile telephone does not suffer from the "let's get this one real quick" syndrome, as the skating is quite up there, while RB Umali, thanks to his OG New York filmer status, can assemble some often too rare old timers, like Akira, and the youth of the moment, like a Yaje in fine form, and one guy named Jarrod Brandeth that –despite being Canadian– is more than at ease in those NYC streets. Let's also note an always versatile Ron Deily!
Surprise, the latest Jeremy Elkin production just popped up online! You still can order the DVD compiling all his video work, plus photography, over here. A Who's Who of the NYC underground, with people you might only have heard of, and an ode to the local lifestyle from the custom mixed soundtrack to the and writing by Eli Morgan Gesner.
