Docs We Love :: Downtown Calling

“Downtown Calling” documents the New York City of the late 70s and early 80s that we love & often romanticize. The New York that gave birth to the music, art, fashion,  attitude and overall aesthetic that still influences our lives today. Our friend Shan Nicolson serves as director/producer, Ben Velez also produces & none other than Deborah Harry narrates. There’s interviews with a host of downtown characters and culturati including Fab 5 Freddy, Bobbito Garcia, Nelson George, Jazzy Jay, Mos Def and Mayor Ed Koch.

Watch the trailer of Downtown Calling or catch the doc at the Austin Film Festival next week. Nice job yo!
