| "Williamsburg" |
Director: Brad Saville
Country: USA
Running time: 76 minutes |
| |
Welcome to WILLIAMSBURG: the hip, upstart,
intellectual mecca of New York City, the land where people
would rather be artists than make art. Williamsburg is a voyeuristic
picture about seven ‘artists’ living in Williamsburg,
Brooklyn and their comical, usually absurd, intertwining lives:
(1) a coke-head film producer, trying to score anything he
can get his hands on; (2) a whore with aspirations of becoming
a novelist; (3) a thief who robs to make money for his independent
film; (4) a misogynistic, eccentric screenwriter, trying to
sell his first script; (5) a chain-smoking, sickly street-artist,
drifting, trying to get by; (6) a frustrated, Slovakian sex-pot
illustrator; and (7) a bulimic, failing, closet-homosexual
male actor.
