::Looking at the nitty-gritty of graffiti::
He worked on the 2007 film, “Reservation Road,” scenes of which were shot in Cove Island Park in Stamford. He also served as a director’s assistant for “Righteous Kill,” starring Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, which was filmed in several local cities including Stamford, Norwalk and Bridgeport, and is set for release in September.
Most recently, he has been serving as associate producer for “Bomb It,” a documentary about the global graffiti movement, which its makers call the “most subversive and controversial art form shaping our culture.” The movie will have its Connecticut premiere tonight at 9 at the Avon Theatre Film Center, as part of its Cult Classics series.
The movie, which has been well-received by critics, documents the lives of street artists from around the world, including such major cities as New York, Berlin, Cape Town, Tokyo, Sao Paulo and Los Angeles. Its title is a term used by graffiti artists to describe what they do.

::Diary of the Dead::
Compared with other first-person motion-sickness horror pictures like The Blair Witch Project and Cloverfield, George A. Romero’s Diary of the Dead is weak tea, yet there’s enough social commentary (and innovative splatter) to acidulate the brew—to remind you that Romero, even behind the curve, makes other genre filmmakers look like fraidy-cats. This is not a continuation of the living-dead saga that began with the 1968 masterpiece Night of the Living Dead. It’s set in the age of the Internet, from which the grim narrator, Debra (Michelle Morgan), downloads unedited footage of a TV correspondent getting chomped by a supposedly dead crime-scene victim. The movie is a video within a video within a video: Diary of the Dead is supposed to be Debra’s cut of her boyfriend Jason’s cut of The Death of Death, a first-person documentary of the reanimation of the dead that interrupted the shooting of Jason’s low-budget horror movie about the reanimation of a mummy. Got that? Reality is mega-mediated. — Read More —>
