Where the Boys Are
BY CYNDI GREENING, MANHATTAN, USA – We're happy to be in Tribeca because we get to see two of the FilmZambia crew members who now live and work in New York. They're both in the film industry now and, like all beginning filmmakers, they're struggling to make a civilized living and get the all important credits necessary to move upward and onward.
They've been dutiful about showing us around and making sure we understand the subways. They're veterans, of course. We newbies are just proud when we arrive at the place we expected.
FilmZambia cinematographer, editor and swing crew member Jacob Felix is working with Jonathan Demme, the director of SILENCE OF THE LAMBS and PHILADELPHIA and THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE. He's working as a personal assistant and learning a ton. He's starting to read scripts for Demme, now. FilmZambia cinematographer and editor Alec Hart is working at Subvoyant, a post-production house on Broadway and Spring in Soho. I enjoy visiting them at work just to see what is going on.
I've only got three days left here in the city. Que lastima.
