"One of the truly superlative discoveries of this year's New York Festival." - CriterionCast
"The most unassuming, sneakily beautiful, goddamn treat of a film I have ever seen." - Screen Anarchy
"A love letter-- to NYC, to the bohemians and musicians who call the place home... to taking pride in your work and finding a place for freaks and misfits to call home." - The Rolling Stone
Once the center of the New York bohemia, Greenwich Village is now home to lux restaurants, and buzzer door clothing stores catering to the nouveau riche. But one shop in the heart of the Village remains resilient to the encroaching gentrification: Carmine Street Guitars.
There, custom guitar maker Rick Kelly and his young apprentice Cindy Hulej, build handcrafted guitars out of reclaimed wood from old hotels, bars, churches and other local buildings. Nothing looks or sounds quite like a Rick Kelly guitar, which is the reason they've been embraced by the likes of Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, Patti Smith, Jim Jarmusch, just to name a few.
Featuring a cast of prominent musicians and artists, and some virtuoso performances, the film captures five days in the life of Carmine Street Guitars, while examining an all-too-quickly vanishing way of life.
