More on the understanding behind the documentary:

This is a group project whose main focus is dedicated to, “The Artists
Process”. The show will run with Photographers and Film Makers meeting at each
individual artists home. The Photographer and Film Maker will solely document
the hands and feet as the artists wake up & go about their daily routine.
This visual element will create a more dynamic approach to interpreting both
visual & sound as the artist gets ready to leave their home until they
arrive at their final location, 5 Pointz, (famous graffiti landmark in Queens).
All the artist will be documented in this similar fashion. Focusing on the feet
will represent movement and daily activities of each artist.

From
the beginning of this documentary, the "natural" sounds of their
daily activity will be the only thing the viewer will hear, but once the colors
are mixed onto the artists palette, the sounds will be mixed into loops and
MC's voices as each MC will provide a hook or a "line".

Come
out and experience this expose into the lives of those who live for art and
live to perform it live. Artists included for this event: Marthalicia
Matarrita, Lexi Bella, Lissette Barros, Broke Mc, Sean Bono, John Smalls,
Spaze Craft, Lichiban, Venus Rodriguez, Mista Metro & much
more.

Catch
all the artists, MC’s & dancers LIVE at:
When: September 20th
1:00pm-6:00pm

Where: 5 Pointz, Queens New York.

"The Artist Process" A document of the process of an artist. Seeking help

I had a vision of making a huge piece at an abandon parking lot, or large space where we all visual artist can create individual pieces or ONE LARGE COLABO piece: I wanted to get your input?
I wanted to know if you all would like to participate at this huge art project?
I need photographers, film makers and sounds persons to make this happen. I select those that are in this note to see if they are interested. Please let me know if you would like to contribute your time for this massive project.

"The Artist Process":
This is how it goes:
Photographers and film makers will go to each individual artist and capture JUST THE HANDS and FEET at their home, or place they rest their head at.. You might think this odd right? Check this.
The Photographer and film maker will document just the hands and feet as the artist wake up, do their daily routine. The photographers and film makers will not document the artist face, just to make it dynamic. As the artist GETS ready to leave their place, photo people and film people will capture your feet as well, as you place your shoes and other things ready, as you lead the viewer to The Parking lot or rooftop?

All the artist will be documented this way. Again your faces will not be shown, just your hands activity and your feet activity. Why the feet, because it represents movement. Artist as always, are active one way or another.

The sounds: From the beginning of this documentary, the "natural" sounds of your daily activity will be the only thing the viewer will hear, BUT once you mix the colors onto your palette, the sounds will be mixed into loops and MC's voices as each MC will provide a hook or a "line".

I will need different perspective, and a large location, if you know or any place via Brooklyn, Manhattan or any other place, let me know. I want the place to be graffiti clean so that the view can see just our work. The creative process, not being influence by other art works.

I will look for sponsors to help get us paid for our work, and if you know any one that want to help let me know. I will advertise them to the best of my abilities. This film is for New Yorker Artist Appreciation, and what we all have invested our time. I give credit to many of you artist here, for being such an impact to me and to the LIVE ART MOVEMENT.
If you know of any otter artist that want to be down or any otherphotographers please send them my info:

Painting created for the CMYIC

Titled: " BORN WITH IT " Created On Sunday July.19.09 for a documentary with my best bud Sylvia Ortiz. Awesome Artist ! I was honored by them to be apart of an independent film, collectively with other artist and with my friend Sylvia, for a film that I will show you within weeks from now. I do hope you like them. Below are information about the production and its crew.

The Organization is called: CMIYC Productions:
Catch Me If You Can Productions is an independent film company that focuses on the establishment of up and coming artists in the field of film. We were founded in September, 2008 and throughout the last few months have worked on making our dream of creating a New Housing Complex for artists a realization. We desire to create a space for talented artists struggling to express their art and survived within a city that makes it extremely difficult.CMIYC Website: www.catchmeifyoucanproductions.com Joshua Martinez Creative Director


The Struggle Of The New York Artist:
The Struggle of the New York Artist focuses on the documentation of the individual struggles and obstacles of New York artists as they strive to obtain their dreams and enrich their art. It illustrates the trials and tribulations of artists and their interconnected identities. The film is comprised of visual and digital artists, dancers, actors, actresses, singers, rappers, and other artists whose expression is enriched by their struggle. We do not intend to represent all the struggles of the artist community in New York but give a representation of what some of us must undergo in the hopes of enlightening the masses and forging a connection among each other.

Other Things about CMIYC:
CMIYC Productions is in the process of developing a street team for young talented youth interested in film or artistic expression as a whole, but are in need of funding to make it possible. CMIYC Street Team will focus on the promotion of the company as well as challenging youth to think "outside" of the box by providing them with innovative ways of expressing themselves by offering them courses on digital design, acting, film, and other forms of artistic expression. The Street Team will teach youth about the importance of public speaking and how to promote themselves as well as a project.

Also, we do head shots for up and coming artists needing to find affordable ways to promote themselves (head shots range from $70.00 - $150.00 a shoot). We also offer acting classes for youth interested in pursuing a career in acting.
