New York City’s film office has a new chief, Kwame Amoaku, who’s got a goal fit for the five boroughs: to grow production beyond its record-setting pre-pandemic levels. In an interview with IndieWire, Amoaku said he’ll provide “concierge service” to film and TV production, streamlining the permitting process, balancing community and industry needs, and boosting the city’s crew base and infrastructure.
It won’t be easy. But if he can make it here…
Amoaku comes to New York with some three decades of experience in production: He worked as location manager for NBC’s “Chicago Fire,” and his career has included a long list of call-sheet positions from actor and director to production coordinator. He was tapped for the deputy commissioner position at the New York Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment (Mome) last month after serving as the director of the Chicago Film Office...

As complex and conflicted as the man himself, Rudy! A Documusical––which premiered on the same evening as the first primetime January 6 hearing––never quite knows to make of the man. There’s an old joke from Saturday Night Live‘s 9/11 era about making a TV movie featuring Rudy Giuliani and, true to the man himself, no one will like him until the last five minutes.
Directed by Jed Rothstein (WeWork: or the Making and Breaking of a 47 Billion Unicorn and The China Hustle), this look at “America’s Mayor”-turned-Trump-personal-lawyer views Giuliani’s life through the lens of those who knew him well, with a musical performance that seems to enforce an uneasy operatic structure onto his rise and continual fall. The man of the hour himself only appears in found footage and through a theatrical interpretation that walks a fine line between sincere portrait of a now deeply troubled contrarian and political satire.

You can understand why filmmaker Jed Rothstein didn’t want to make a traditional documentary about Rudy Giuliani, whose life and career haven’t exactly been starved for attention. Rothstein’s conceit was to supplement the traditional mixture of archival footage and interviews with scenes from an imagined Broadway-style musical about Giuliani. That may have been a mistake, since the results play more like a standard cable television doc inexplicably accompanied by excerpts from a fringe festival theatrical production.
Nonetheless, Rudy! A Documusical, receiving its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival, proves fascinating. How could it not, considering the utterly bizarre downward trajectory of its subject’s reputation? Although in Giuliani’s case, a Broadway musical seems less appropriate than Greek tragedy. Or maybe a horror film, since the older he gets the more he bears a striking resemblance to Nosferatu.

Jackie Mason, the sometimes-controversial standup comedian who unapologetically embraced Jewish themes and political incorrectness, achieving a national profile through a series of successful one-man shows on Broadway without substantial work in film or television, died Saturday in Manhattan. He was 93.
The New York Times said his death was confirmed by his friend Raoul Felder.
Mason was one of the last of the Borscht Belt comedians, and he married that sensibility to strong views on racial and ethnic politics.
He also recurred on “The Simpsons” as the voice of Rabbi Hyman Krustofsky, the father of Krusty the Clown, winning his second Emmy for his efforts in 1992 and most recently voicing the character in a 2014 episode. He also appeared as himself in a 2007 episode of “30 Rock.”

I’ve spent quarantine living with my girlfriend in a scantly furnished family home in Brooklyn. We’re surrounded by empty walls that constantly echo our conversations, and to pass the time — and fill all that extra space — we play music as loud as it will go. The louder we blast the songs below, the more present they become, like actual walls of sound.
These songs are not all bangers. But they are all intricately woven tales of lovers, fighters, hustlers, and the broken-hearted that demand to be listened to...

On the night of Aug. 23, 1989, 16-year-old Yusuf Hawkins went with his East New York friends to the predominantly Italian-American neighborhood of Bensonhurst, responding to a used car sales ad. After being misidentified as the boyfriend of a local girl, Hawkins was attacked by an angry mob of young white men, and was eventually shot dead. His death sparked outrage, bringing simmering racial tensions to a boil, leading to an aftermath that engulfed the city as Hawkins’ family demanded justice. Directed by Muta’Ali Muhammad (“Life’s Essentials with Ruby Dee”) the HBO documentary, “Yusuf Hawkins: Storm Over Brooklyn,” relives that tragic night that exposed deep racial prejudices which continue to haunt the country today.
Ahead of the opening of Spike Lee’s incendiary ”Do the Right Thing” just a month prior on July 21, 1989, a few mostly white critics predicted that the film’s portrayal of racial divisions in the Bed-Stuy neighborhood might lead to riots.

This past Friday, Kamala Harris, the Senator from California and a Democratic presidential hopeful, released her summer playlist, a collection of songs she’s “listening to while traveling around country.” Said Harris, “I’m a firm believer that we all need to find the time to dance, to sing and to bop our heads a little, so I’m sharing the songs I’m listening to in the car out on the campaign trail this summer. Whether we’re driving from Sacramento to Reno or Dubuque to Chicago, this playlist always lifts me up.

HBO has greenlit “Storm Over Brooklyn,” from Muta’Ali (pictured), and which was the winner of a new initiative to promote diversity in feature documentaries. The project will tell the story of Yusuf Hawkins, a black teenager who was shot and murdered in 1989 after being trapped by a group of white youths in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn.
Muta’Ali’s film will explore a crime that shocked New York and the wider U.S. Hawkins’ murder led to marches and protests that contributed to the ousting of New York City Mayor Ed Koch in favour of David Dinkins, who became the city’s first — and as of now, only — African American mayor.
“Yusuf Hawkins’ murder had a major effect on the public, and the locked away regret and sorrow questions a history that those involved have held onto for nearly 30 years,” Muta’Ali said. “We will finally see the light of day...

HBO has come on board a feature documentary about a black American teenager shot to death by a group of white youths in 1989. The premium broadcaster has greenlit Storm Over Brooklyn, directed by Muta’Ali and produced by Lightbox, the U.S./UK firm behind Netflix series Captive.
Storm Over Brooklyn won the inaugural Feature Documentary Initiative, created by Lightbox and the American Black Film Festival (Abff), as part of a joint initiative to foster diversity in feature docs.
The doc tells the story of Yusuf Hawkins, a black American teenager who was shot and murdered after being trapped by a group of white youths in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, on the evening of August 23, 1989. Sixteen-year- old Hawkins had come to Bensonhurst with three friends to look at a used car when they were attacked by the mob, whose members mistakenly believed that Hawkins was dating a neighbourhood girl who was white.

After selling narrative remake rights to Sony, NYPD corruption documentary The Seven Five has sealed a distribution deal with Sundance Selects. Director Tiller Russell’s film chronicles the true crime story of Michael Dowd, a frustrated police officer who turned the 75th Precinct in crime-ridden East New York City into a playground for dirty cops in the 1980s, and whose 1992 arrest exposed widespread corruption in the NYPD.
Deadline premiered the exclusive teaser for The Seven Five ahead of its November debut at Doc NYC (watch it again below), where Dowd was set to reunite with the ex-partner who testified against him. In December, Sony landed remake rights in a competitive auction for the story that plays like a cop version of Goodfellas.

Exclusive: Sony Pictures has gotten its computer systems back online, with emails and everything else up and running again. And the studio is putting the finishing touches on a splashy deal to creative a narrative feature out of The Seven Five, the Tiller Russell-directed and Eli Holzman produced documentary about one of the most corrupt police forces in 1980s New York. It’s the cop version of Goodfellas, an opportunity to tell the kind of stories that Sidney Lumet did so well about urban corruption. This was a competitive auction, and ICM Partners repped the docu in the deal.
The tale focuses on Michael Dowd, whose headline-grabbing 1992 arrest for leading a ring of criminalized cops exposed widespread corruption in the NYPD and sent him to prison for 14 years.

Exclusive: “I considered myself both a cop and a gangster.” New documentary The Seven Five chronicles the story of New York City police officer Michael Dowd, whose headline-grabbing 1992 arrest for leading a ring of criminalized cops exposed widespread corruption in the NYPD and sent him to prison for 14 years. Friday at Doc NYC, Dowd will appear at the film’s world premiere, where he’ll be reunited for the first time in decades with the former partner who exposed him.
Dowd began squeezing dealers for cash while working out of the 75th Precinct in crime-ridden East New York, eventually recruiting partner Kenny Eurell and others into an expanding ring of dirty cops active from 1986 through 1992. Their flashy transgressions were so flagrant that then-Mayor David Dinkins appointed the Mollen Commission to investigate, uncovering a history of “brutality, theft, abuse of authority and active police criminality” that had been willfully ignored by Internal Affairs.

Even though Bill has held the office of New York City Public Advocate since 2010, HollywoodLife has rounded up some facts about the mayoral candidate — and possible future mayor of New York City — not that that’s a huge job or anything!
Bill De Blasio: Five Things You Didn’t Know About Him
1. Think you know his real name? Bill De Blasio was actually born Warren Wilhelm. His family started calling him Bill at a young age, and he decided to take De Blasio, his mother’s maiden name, since his mother and father split and his father had a history of being an alcoholic.
2. Bill lives in Park Slope, Brooklyn, with his wife, Chirlane McCray, and their children, Dante and Chiara.

Sarah Burns knows it doesn't hurt a first-time documentary maker to have one of the genre's icons as a father and a colleague.
The daughter of the much-honored Ken Burns ("The Civil War," "Baseball"), she teamed with him and her husband David McMahon to write and direct the film adaptation of her 2011 book "The Central Park Five," which uses archival footage and new interviews to recount 1989's controversial "Central Park Jogger" New York rape case. After film-festival showings and last fall's theatrical run, the movie makes its PBS debut Tuesday, April 16.
"The book and the film, though they tell the same story, are very different in a lot of ways," Sarah Burns maintains to Zap2it, "just by the nature of the mediums. The film can provide visuals, but on the other hand, the book is much more dense.

In 1989, one Latino and four black teenagers -- Raymond Santana, Antron McCray, Kevin Richardson, Yusef Salaam and Korey Wise -- from Harlem were accused (and then convicted) of raping a white woman in Central Park. After spending six to 13 years in prison, a serial rapist confessed to committing the crime, eventually leading to the overturning of their convictions. We are all quite familiar with Ken Burns' tried and true documentary technique of panning and scanning archival photos teamed with voiceover narration. It is a filmmaking approach that often seems overly dry and scholarly in this confrontational age of docu-tainment directors such as Michael Moore and Errol Morris. Burns' approach to The Central Park Five, however, is much different. Working with co-directors Sarah Burns (Ken Burns' daughter) and David McMahon (Sarah Burns' husband), Ken Burns relies upon contemporary talking-head interviews with the previously convicted men, as well as journalists,...

On April 19, 1989, a woman's body was found in Central Park after been raped and beaten brutally, although she was still alive. Around the same time, police had brought in a number of teenagers who had been involved...

Anthony Quinn's friends and loved ones have paid tribute to the late, legendary, actor for using his artistic talent to help others. Quinn, an international leading man with a film career spanning six decades, died on June 3rd of respiratory failure. He was 86. And some of his famous pals remembered the two-time Oscar winner at a ceremony in Rhode island Sunday while standing under one of his paintings. Actor Edward James Olmos said, "His real gift was helping people who had no voice. His gift was creativity and giving. He created in everything he did." About 300 people attended the public service, which included a montage of still shots from many of Quinn's 100 movies. An organist played an improvisation of the theme song from Zorba The Greek, in which Quinn played the hero. Actor Franco Nero, Providence Mayor Vincent Cianci and former New York mayor David Dinkins spoke at the service, which celebrated Quinn's acting, painting and sculpting. Actor Adam Sandler also attended, and a floral arrangement and card at the back of the church read "My deepest condolences, Al Pacino."...
