I arrive in NY Saturday at 7:45. Will you be around? If so, do get in touch whether or not you can make it to the film.

We got a great review in New York in conjunction with the screening:

http://offoffoff.com/film/2008/fix.php

excerpt:
"This is a life more vivid than any I've ever seen in this town.

It's a movie more vivid than almost any made in this town.

Dirty, sweet and magical, the movie swirls kaleidoscopically through urban terrain. It has the hallmarks of a music video — fast motion, jump cuts, dizzying angles — but isn't just vainly edgy. It's meant to be a guerrilla film-on-the-fly, latticed like the broken windshield of perception.

The movie has a sort of mantra — at least twice, characters offer the greeting "Each day's better than the next." Here is a two-faced piece of wisdom indeed. Does it mean life is getting ever-better, like it sounds, or ever-worse, like it says? Is "Fix" a movie about hope or catastrophe, the best of times or the worst of times?

That's for you to decide after seeing the movie. Catch it at the Brooklyn Film Festival, see it at another festival near you, beg your local arthouse to play it, do what you have to do, but see it. Because you just gotta." -Joshua Tanzer

FIX goes to Marfa

The LAFCO/FIX RV took a thousand mile journey to the Marfa Film Festival. On the way there, we shot, edited and then screened a short film called Marfa, My Dear. Check it out here

New FIX Trailer

The FIXmobile is off to MARFA!

The FIXmobile is the second vehicle in the LAFCO fleet. The 1977 GMC eleganza served multiple purposes on the FIX shoot: hair, make-up, wardrobe, craft service, grip, electric, video village, editorial and transpo...Basically the whole film was made out of this super funky RV. We then painted it and put the FIX logo on the outside and we have been taking it from festival to festival, starting at our premier at SLAMDANCE. Tomorrow we leave for the Marfa Film Festival. We will make a short film on the way with some of the FIX cast and crew, including Black Moses and Lola Prosciutto Ruspoli, our English Bulldog.
