Still Lost Bird Music performs “French Lessons”
From the album Sargent Egyptian Girl (on iTunes).

On Saturday June 7th, UnionDocs is graciously hosting a sneak peak of the TV Pilot Strings Attached by OVO’s own Ruben Carbajal.

When a long-running public television program is unexpectedly canceled, the perilously dysfunctional lives of the show’s puppet stars are forced to re-invent their careers. A crack-addicted sock, a love child, curdled jealousies, and shameless back-stabbing are just a few of the ingredients of this audacious, fast-paced, and sometimes tasteless comedy. The evening will kick off with the unveiling of short webisodes, followed by a live reading of the pilot. Reception to follow!

Strings Attached

Come celebrate the second season of the Brooklyn Filmmakers Collective on Thursday, June 5 at Union Docs in Williamsburg. Members will premiere 10 short films inspired by the often-used but rarely questioned phrase “based on a true event.” In addition to the films, festivities include all the beer you can drink for $10 and a live DJ. Proceeds support the group’s ongoing efforts to inspire and promote the best work from Brooklyn-based filmmakers. Union Docs is located at: 322 Union Ave (between Maujer St. and Ten Eyck St.) near the Lorimer L stop/Metropolitan G/Hewes J stops. Doors open at 8:30 pm, films start at 9.

The Brooklyn Filmmakers Collective is tight-knit community of professional filmmakers in Brooklyn, NY who are dedicated to innovative approaches to filmmaking. The collective comes together through weekly peer workshops to provide sustained feedback and critiques throughout the life of its members’ projects. It is the mission of the BFC to inspire groundbreaking films and maximize exposure of the best work from Brooklyn-based filmmakers. Our collective resume includes awards from Sundance, Independent Spirit Awards, Student Academy Awards, and IFP.

There’s a new band rehearsing in our basement and they’ve got a record release party and concert tonight at Union Pool. I think they go on at 11.
