BANG THE PARTY - THE MOVIE! For sale now on Amazon 

FILM SYNOPSIS: The film documents the rise and fall of Bang the Party (BTP), an underground house music dance party which took place in New York City – Manhattan and Brooklyn – on a weekly basis from 1997 to 2003, as organized by party producers Eman & Lorie. A unique group of nightlife characters: DJs, dancers, artists and house music legends are interviewed while BTP events are documented. A lively house music soundtrack, dance floor footage, interviews, and documentation of some unexpected events bring to life an esoteric underground scene and encapsulates a moment in time and nightlife history at the turn of the millennium. Being that the film takes place in New York, the city also becomes a character in the film, while events such as the September 11th  tragedy, and political issues such as then mayor Giuliani's so called "Quality of Life" and controversial cabaret laws are addressed. Some of the people interviewed the film include: Archie Burnett (dancer), Tortured Soul (musical group), John "Jellybean" Benitez (DJ, record label owner), Kai Fikentscher (DJ, ethnomusicologist, author), Farzaneh Hemmasi (ethnomusicologist, author), Tom Terrell (DJ, music journalist), Sweet Sable Jefferies (musical artist), Doug Merrifiled (dancer), Jackson Brown (visual artist), Phil Hooton (DJ, producer), Keith Thompson (musical artist), Laze (visual artist), Muema (photographer, culture documentarian). Produced by Steve Booth (Lock and Roll Productions) and Pro Deuce Entertainment.
