motherfucker documentary

so there's a motherfucker documentary coming out.... i have personally never been to motherfucker, but i know that it's a pretty big glam scene. i actually don't think i would hold up style-wise to all the fashionistas and personalities that show up to the motherfucker parties... but i really think that they've shaped new york night life a bit. here's what the press release says...

The producers of New York's premiere Rock and Roll free for all, Motherfucker are pleased to announce the beginning of a new chapter for the now-legendary party. Starting this month, filming will begin for a feature length documentary film of Motherfucker that will directed by New York-based filmmaker and music video director David Casey. The project, simply titled Motherfucker, will be a definitive encapsulation of all things Motherfucker-music, sex, politics, dancing, fashion and of course, the artists, musicians, freaks and rebels who have made it New York City's most beautiful bastard child since 2000.

While there's always been wild stories circulating about what goes down at producers Michael T, Justine D, Johnny T and Georgie Seville's Motherfucker bashes, even if you've experienced the rush that is Motherfucker firsthand, you've only been getting half the story.

Motherfucker will take viewers into the belly of the beast through exclusive interviews with the party's promoters and guests as well as the legendary musicians, journalists and celebrities who have passed through its jam packed doors. “We need to talk to everyone,” says Casey. “They've all got something to say.”

In the vein of Paris Is Burning, Mayor Of The Sunset Strip and RIZE, Motherfucker will be a document of not only cultural moment, but of the people who have shaped it. "When considering the prospect of telling the story of modern day New York's underground music and arts scene, Motherfucker is the only thing that made sense to me,” says Casey. “I tried to focus on the many other elements that New York's recent successes stemmed from, but found that the Motherfucker crew collectively represent something more sincere, open and risk-taking. They're heroes of the nightlife and they need to be remembered.”


Prior to this reveling in all that glitters and glows, Casey worked on commercial film projects for clients such as MTV, ESPN, the Sterling Group and Deutsch Marketing. In recent years, Casey has also had the privilege of working with the independent film studio Sasson Pictures as an editor and soundtrack curator. Through his various connections in the music industry, the longtime downtown mover and shaker has worked with marquee independent rock groups such as The Walkmen, Yo La Tengo and Interpol.

With plans for an accompanying soundtrack and film score in the works, it's only a matter of time before the gospel of Motherfucker is spread far and wide. And to help fan those flames, Casey and his production company, Great American Desert, will be organizing and producing a national Motherfucker tour that will kick off in late 2006 and end at the 2007 South By Southwest Music Conference. The Motherfucker tour, which will visit over 50 cities and college campuses across the country, will feature screenings of the film along with appearances by the Motherfuckers themselves and live performances and DJ sets from the artists who have graced its stage over the years.

In the true spirit of the party's culture clashes, Motherfucker seeks to reach the young creatives in each community it visits and have them join in on the fun. Count on writers, musicians, filmmakers, photographers, bloggers, students, and others to all get involved.

Like any generational story, Motherfucker will be a mix of youth, politics, sex and rock and roll - all set to the ballet that is MOTHERFUCKER. Our generation needs to know that something special is happening and after seeing Motherfucker, no one will miss out-or ever forget it.
