About this project:

A picturesque film with pointed interviews of up and coming young artists. A truly independent look into the souls of the struggling artists. Video supported by stop-motion animation and super 8mm clips. Amazing soundtrack throughout. If you knew being an artist would be so hard, would you still have taken this path? This is a film about those who would.

This film has taken us three years to make and now we are ready to put it on a DVD.

With your help, we will make 1,000 DVD copies of our new film. We plan to donate a supply of these DVDs to some of the community-based art groups with which we work and, in turn, they will be able to sell the DVDs to support their own projects. A box of thirty DVDs will be sent to the artists in Lisbon, another box of thirty DVDs will be sent to artists in Ecuador and a smaller supply will be sent to artists in Germany, Italy and France. The rest of the DVDs will be used to raise funds for future art projects.

“The Dolls Of Lisbon” running time is 84 minutes in Region 1 - NTSC format - color. It is not rated.

The DVD will include a cover and enclosed will be one Antagonist Art Movement sticker and an insert page.

As an extra, the “The Dolls of Lisbon” DVD will have a second feature film, “The Soft Hustle” (64 min). The Soft Hustle, 1999-2000

The story of a Lower East Side low life who makes a bet for $1,000, which he promptly loses. After getting kicked out of the apartment of his girlfriend, he finds himself going home with cheap barflies, robbing East Village stores and pathetically pretending he is gay just to have a place to sleep. It has been in several film festivals. Additional extras, will be short films about other Antagonist Art Movement projects (11 min). Sketch book Party, The Rat House Art Project, The Wheat paste gallery.

We hope to subtitle “The Dolls of Lisbon” in English (for the hearing impaired), Spanish, French, Japanese, and perhaps one or two other languages. So please select a reward from the right hand column and hit the green button.

We try to produce quality work and, with your help, we can succeed. We hope to have our new DVD out by the fall of this year.

If we go over our goal, the additional money will help underwrite the cost of entering our film in film festivals.

Project location: New York, NY
