Show and Tell: HOMEBREW LINE-UP
"WHITMAN:" & LIGHT SEEPS INTO THE CAVE"
For the last few years, Aaron Balkan has written
poems that aspired to
be movies. Lately, he's been making movies that aspire to be poems.
"Whitman:", which incorporates music by Papa M and a
poem by Larry
Levis, documents shoppers, mothers, Prayer-Patrol officers, and
Walt
Whitman-lookalikes at the Brooklyn Fulton Mall on a few cold days
in
February. "Light Seeps into the Cave" has something
to do with
Plato's "The Cave," although you might be hard-pressed
to understand
what. It's a collaboration with the musician Quinn Burson and
features
images from New York's Natural History Museum.
Aaron grew up in Arizona and attended Pitzer College in Southern
California. He received an M.F.A. in creative writing from New
York
University, as a Times fellow, and is currently on the faculty
of
NYU's Expository Writing Program. He lives in Brooklyn with his
wife
Gabrielle and their sinewy cat, Horace.
A 9/11 LOVE STORY
A straightforward account of mad sex, hipsters, lost souls, and
broken hearts after the World Trade Center attacks, A 9/11 LOVE
STORY chronicles the unlikely romance between a jaded Brooklynite
and a lovely, irrepressible drifter in the dark alleys and bars
of the Lower East Side. What starts as a one-night stand turns
into a heady love affair when the morning after is September 11.
The mismatched pair navigates through their new relationship as
it unfolds in tandem with the pains and perils of the city. Feature-length
screenplay. A 15-minute staged reading takes us from the couple’s
first meeting to the morning of September 11.
Marilyn S. Fu was the first recipient of the
William Goldman Screenwriting Fellowship. She has written two
other screenplays: THE SISTERHOOD OF NIGHT, based on the short
story by Pulitzer Prize winner Steven
Millhauser, and RIDERS ON THE STORM, a vampire story set in Louisiana.
She is also a book editor and videographer.
HOMEBREW
When you think of the term "Homebrewing", it might evoke
an image of
backwoods bumpkins making beer in their bathtub in the deep south.
But
with a crop of younger urbanites taking up the age old hobby -
and some even turning it into a career (the brewers behind Sixpoint
Craft
ales started out as homebrewers and are now mass producing for
bars
and stores) - homebrewing is being seen in a whole new light.
Brewmasters Andrew Paprocki and Marcie Baeza walk us through the
process of beermaking - from hops to bottles. By no means "experts"
on the subject, they have four batches under their belts including
a
Hefeweizen Wheat beer and Belgian-style Tripel - all well-received
by
tasters. So as they say, "Don't worry. Relax. Have a homebrew".
MARCIE BAEZA
While primarily on the consumption end of the beer-making process,
Marcie has spent the majority of her conscious years studying
wine-making via osmosis at her father's winery, Brotherhood -
America's
Oldest - in NY. Offsetting this laborious background of critical
drinking, Marcie has spent the majority of her formal education
and
professional work dedicated to event & film production, with
an acute
involvement in music documentaries. Currently, she is working
on a
series about a modeling agency for pregnant women, which will
be seen
on the Discovery Health Channel.
ANDREW PAPROCKI
When not trying to get Marcie to relax and have a homebrew, Android
can be found taking apart his computer. A software engineer by
day,
software engineer / beer drinker by night, Andrew is constantly
trying
to put the computer *in* the beer (or vice versa). Currently,
he
works in the R&D department of Bloomberg LP quietly distributing
bottle conditioned Hefeweizen to the geek elite. Mike has not
tried
the beer -- yet.
