Further into the breach my friends….
Real stories from real people about real things! Join us as we sit down with some of the coolest people in Portland to ask ” What is Gen-X “and how some of the things that happened in the not so distant past, affect us now here in the future.
We would like to thank Awesome Tanya for letting the B-Side Tavern serve as one of the locations in our film. We got 5 interviews over 2 Fridays and we couldn’t have done it without her and Nina, bartender extraordinaire! Nina helped us store equipment, answer questions, and was a cool professional to work with. Thanks guys!
It’s a new week and onto new interviews. As we were shooting at B-Side on our last Friday I happened to meet a nice Gen-X er as he tended to his puppy. “So whats going on here?” Nick asked as I was smoking a cigarette out front.
The Rundown
After taking with Nick and his puppy he told me that someone he knows would be very interested in having us ask them questions. Rustin is an artist he knows and after some more talking we were able to come up with a plan to shoot both of them on the same day at the same location.
We will be shooting next Sunday October 29th at AFRU Gallery on Oak St. Wow! What a cool spot! Statues of H.P.Lovecraft inspired art along with Acrobats practicing on rigs set up in the middle of it all! We’ve got the perfect spot picked out to film these highly anticipated interviews with a couple of local artists and world travelers.
Introducing……
Rustin, an artist living in Portland and resident of AFRU. is up first. His interview starts out with his time living in NYC and working at C.B.G.B.s in the late 80’s-mid 90’s. His stories of the time lend a one of a kind perspective of living in the largest city on the east coast. We all cant wait to hear the experiences and tales he has to tell!
Next up is the one and only Nikki Sin! Gifted musician and local performance artist with a wealth of cool stories to tell. This gifted artist has lived in PDX for almost a decade, but his unique experiences and vivid stories are what this film is all about!
Halfway during the pre-interview i knew these two gentleman will provide genuine tales of the time period. Sometimes important things gets overlooked when the only point of view in the film is from the former famous folks of that time and not the people who worked hard to support them!
Our goal in this project was to capture real tales from genuine people who were there and lived it! These next two interviews more than fit that bill!
Later that same day our interviewer will pack it up and prepare for his show at the Hungary Tiger. His trivia is a blast and dare I say, the best in Portland! The most up to date questions not generated by a computer. That’s right folks our co-producer Kerr writes writes every show himself!
Kerr and Tiger Trivia start around 4pm and goes until 7pm depending on the crowd. After the show we will be asking folks if they would like to answer 3 questions about Gen-X and/or give us their best story from that time! If you have a story to tell then come to the Hungary Tiger and play some trivia!
