A 15-second version of our new Ciroc Ultra Premium Vodka commercial is airing on Taxi TV, so don’t turn that thing off next time you jump in a cab.  We’ve had reports of dozens of sightings around NYC, but the sniper award goes to producer Justin Lundstrom for snapping this picture on his blackberry.

2 sets of dear friends and frequent collaborators screened their movies in the past couple of weeks.  There’s nothing quite as gratifying as seeing your friends’ movie play in front of a full house.

Josh & Benny Safdie of Red Bucket Films introduce their new film “Go Get Some Rosemary” to a house packed with friends at Walter Reade Theater.  Ariel art directed the film and Supermarché provided post-production facilities and equipment.  The film premiered at Cannes  Director’s Fortnight and now they’re on the festival circuit–next stop Munich.

Jody Lee Lipes and Lance Edmands field questions at BAM after the screening of their feature doc “Good Times Will Never Be The Same“.  It’s screening again on June 24th as part of the BAMcinemaFEST.  Click here to buy tickets.

We went by Technicolor yesterday to transfer the Sperry footage with colorist Sam Daley.  They have a great set-up for super-8.  The footage looks lovely & we start cutting today.

It’s sad to leave such a wonderful city, but all good things must come to an end.  As you can see, Jody and Henry really got into the spirit of things.  Next stop: Los Angeles.
