I RUB NY: a film that celebrates the creative energy of the modern day urban environment. Tracing the history of a community art initiative inspired by the artwork of New York City native Carol Caputo, this touching documentary reveals how people respond when presented with an opportunity to interact with their surroundings in a new and imaginative way.IRUBNY follows Caputo as she weaves her way through the streets of New York City, sharing her contagious energy with strangers, and showing that everyone really is capable of creating art. The audience watches as thousands of people, armed with materials as simple as paper and crayons, rub the streets and buildings in every neighborhood of the city. The transformation of these people as they come to see their everyday environment in such an unconventional way is at the very heart of this film. As the tough outer layer of cynicism is shed, people create and connect with their city in a way that they had previously never thought possible.IRUBNY is a little film with a big idea: community is about relating to each other and to our surroundings. Shot in neighborhoods all over Manhattan, the film melds insightful interviews with footage from Caputo's IRUBNY events. It transcends the barriers of class, gender and social standing by simply detailing the experiences of people of all ages as they share their reactions and their artwork. The aesthetic of the film merges with Caputo's art initiative as pieces of the city are transposed to tell her project's history and the rippling effect it had throughout the neighborhoods of New York. IRUBNY provides a new perspective on art, urban living and community that resonates with any audience.
LOSING CONTROL: a fresh and funny independent film that explores the universal idea that, at some point, everyone fears somewhere in their heart, that there is a "right" way to find love, and that they might be going about it the wrong way. LOSING CONTROL is a quirky romantic comedy about a female scientist who wants proof that her boyfriend is "the one." Evoking a light-hearted and clever tone, LOSING CONTROL is the story of a charmingly neurotic Harvard graduate student whose life doesn't't seem to be working out the way she planned. Frustrated by life's unpredictability and determined to apply scientific principles to her love life, she sets off on a series of wild dating adventures a journey that ultimately leads to her understanding that nothing can be controlled and that life is indeed more about the ride than the destination.
***LOSING CONTROL IS ALSO SHOWING: 4pm Sat, Aug 13 in the CHAPLIN THEATER
