Vice interviews Rockers director Ted Bafaloukos.

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

Vice Magazine recently published a great interview with the director of the classic Jamaican film Rockers, where he speaks on his life during and after the making of the film. Check out the quote from the interview below, on what became of most of the film’s stars…

“Most of them are dead. Half were murdered. Dirty Harry, for instance, was killed in New York. He went to jail for two years, probably for drugs or a fight. I’m not sure, I didn’t ask. Six months after he got out of jail someone killed him. The same with Natty Garfield.”

Included with the interview are some great shots supplied by Bafaloukos, shot before, during and after the making of the film. Check those out, along with the full interview here: LOVE AND ROCKERS: Ted Bafaloukos Taught Us Everything We Know About Jamaica.

Dollar Van Demos

Monday, November 2nd, 2009




Anybody from NYC or who’s grown up in the heart of Queens or Brooklyn knows about dollar vans. They’re cheap transportation with crazier drivers than a NYC yellow cab. The great thing is they can get you from one end of the hood to the other faster than an ambulance and of course for just a dollar.

So here’s a new concept Dollar Van Demos, take a new artist and have them perform in the dollar van to entertain the passengers and bring them a little more exposure. Check out the video of Jahdan Blakkamoore the Brooklyn based Guyanese artist performing Cash Flow.
