Just got back to my room after an active event evening in Tribeca. Started off with a party at The Knitting Factory for director Stephen Kijak’s music doc “Scott Walker – 30 Century Man”. Unfortunately had to leave before singer David Driver took to the stage for a Scott Walker songbook, to attend the Made In NY soiree around the corner. The venue was jam packed with the festival filmmakers mingling with NY producers. I caught up with sister director and producer duo, Stephanie and Alexandra Johnes here at the festival with their feature doc -“Doubletime”. Attached to Discovery films entering the world of Double-Dutch jump roping, this doc first got attention at this years SXSW and is on this fests buzz radar. Final party stop this evening was the launch party for Tomorrow Unlimited a UK based online film fest and new technology forum. Met their Director or Programming, Jeremy Boxer, former ResFest programmer who was busy taking pictures to put onto their not-yet launched website. Hung out for a while with theShooting People’s NY Director, Ingrid Kopp and was promised that there would be some SP LA events to look forward to later this year.
