Filmmaker Statement

A haunting new rocker written and performed by Mr. Jones. The music video uses the marvelous public domain street documentary by photographer Helen Levitt in collaboration with poet/writer James Agee. Filmed in Spanish Harlem in 1948 to showcase Levitt's street artistry, the inadvertently spooky vintage footage is softened by the sweet and sad innocence of the neighborhood's poor working class children which perfectly encapsulates our struggles of today. The title sequence was borrowed from another public domain film, Orson Welles' noir thriller The Stranger from 1946.
