90’s was produced and directed by Kathleen Grace and written by Thom Woodley, based on an idea by Brenda Withers.
MUSIC
The band for this episode was two-man electro-juggernaut Shy Child (www.myspace.com/shychildmusic). Wish we could have shown you their pictures / performance like we usually do – but they’re all busy touring the world and stuff.
CAST
Our regular cast includes: Bob McClure (Jed), Lindsey Broad (Spring), Kelli Giddish (Courtney), Jeff Skowron (Ryan), and Matt Yeager (Xander).
Guest appearances for this episode include the ever-nonsensical Chris O’Connor as Early; comedic superman Baron Vaughn as the Photographer of Many Nations; and Charlotte and Sandy as the citizens of the senior center. Many cameos in the last scene, including Kathy, Ana, Shawn DB, and graphic designer Becca Winters.
And did you catch the very special cameo by Susan and Arin of Four-Eyed Monsters? If you haven’t already, and you want a glimpse into the lives of real Williamsburg artistes, go immediately to their site (www.foureyedmonsters.com).
And check out Baron Vaughn. Really, he’s everywhere nowadays. Enjoy the hell out of him! (www.baronvaughn.com).
HOOD
90’s was shot entirely in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
The senior center was the Swingin 60s Senior Center on Ainslie and Graham. The boys’ apartment is Shawn’s apartment, as usual. Street scenes were shot in the vicinity of Lorimer and Withers, roughly.
CREW
Three Directors of Photography for this one: Johnny North, Matt Marshall and Robby Rapaport. Sound was by Thom or whoever was free to hold the boom. Our editor was Ana Veselic.
SPECIAL THANKS
To Susan and Arin for the cameos. To Danny and Tommy and the rest of the Swingin’ 60s gang. To Leah, for introducing us to Charlotte and Sandy, and to Charlotte and Sandy for being good sports.
