Newlyweeds
Assignment:
In addition to waging a proactive traditional PR campaign for the film in advance of its world premiere at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival http://www.indiewire.com/article/behind-the-scenes-of-a-sundance-deadline-newlyweeds-dashes-to-the-finish-line it was a dream come true to work with my colleague Harry Pallenberg of https://vimeo.com/sunnyandmild on the video piece that has come to represent NEWLYWEEDS’ journey in Park City and the singular new voice of its writer-director Shaka King : https://vimeo.com/57752857.
It was also a tremendous privilege to continuing working with Shaka and the film’s producers Jim Wareck and Michael Matthews on NEWLYWEEDS’ theatrical release which kicked off with an extended run at NYC’s legendary Film Forum. Press highlights include a feature in the NY Daily News http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv-movies/shaka-king-sets-debut-newlyweeds-bed-stuy-article-1.1452625 and a fascinating Q&A with Gawker’s Rick Juzwiak http://gawker.com/is-there-such-a-thing-as-black-pop-culture-director-1341626644. It should be said that Tambay A Obenson’s razor-sharp Shadow & Act http://blogs.indiewire.com/shadowandact/ blog at Indiewire was a loud, persistent early supporter of NEWLYWEEDS.
