Show and Tell: HOMEBREW
Saturday, October 14th

----------------“WHITMAN:” & “LIGHT SEEPS INTO THE CAVE”
For the last few years, Aaron Balkan has written poems that aspired to
be movies. Lately, he's been making movies that aspire to be poems.
"Whitman:", which incorporates music by Papa M and a poem by Larry
Levis, documents shoppers, mothers, Prayer-Patrol officers, and Walt
Whitman-lookalikes at the Brooklyn Fulton Mall on a few cold days in
February. "Light Seeps into the Cave" has something to do with
Plato's "The Cave," although you might be hard-pressed to understand
what. It's a collaboration with the musician Quinn Burson and features
images from New York's Natural History Museum.
Aaron grew up in Arizona and attended Pitzer College in Southern
California. He received an M.F.A. in creative writing from New York
University, as a Times fellow, and is currently on the faculty of
NYU's Expository Writing Program. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife
Gabrielle and their sinewy cat, Horace.

-------------- A 9/11 LOVE STORY
A straightforward account of mad sex, hipsters, lost souls, and broken hearts after the World Trade Center attacks, A 9/11 LOVE STORY chronicles the unlikely romance between a jaded Brooklynite and a lovely, irrepressible drifter in the dark alleys and bars of the Lower East Side. What starts as a one-night stand turns into a heady love affair when the morning after is September 11. The mismatched pair navigates through their new relationship as it unfolds in tandem with the pains and perils of the city. Feature-length screenplay.
A 15-minute staged reading takes us from the couple’s first meeting to the morning of September 11.
Marilyn S. Fu was the first recipient of the William Goldman Screenwriting Fellowship. She has written two other screenplays: THE SISTERHOOD OF NIGHT, based on the short story by Pulitzer Prize winner Steven Millhauser, and RIDERS ON THE STORM, a vampire story set in Louisiana. She is also a book editor and videographer

.------------HOMEBREW
When you think of the term "Homebrewing", it might evoke an image of
backwoods bumpkins making beer in their bathtub in the deep south. But
with a crop of younger urbanites taking up the age old hobby - and
some even turning it into a career (the brewers behind Sixpoint Craft
ales started out as homebrewers and are now mass producing for bars
and stores) - homebrewing is being seen in a whole new light.
Brewmasters Andrew Paprocki and Marcie Baeza walk us through the
process of beermaking - from hops to bottles. By no means "experts"
on the subject, they have four batches under their belts including a
Hefeweizen Wheat beer and Belgian-style Tripel - all well-received by
tasters. So as they say, "Don't worry. Relax. Have a homebrew".

MARCIE BAEZA
While primarily on the consumption end of the beer-making process,
Marcie has spent the majority of her conscious years studying
wine-making via osmosis at her father's winery, Brotherhood - America's
Oldest - in NY. Offsetting this laborious background of critical
drinking, Marcie has spent the majority of her formal education and
professional work dedicated to event & film production, with an acute
involvement in music documentaries. Currently, she is working on a
series about a modeling agency for pregnant women, which will be seen
on the Discovery Health Channel.

ANDREW PAPROCKI
When not trying to get Marcie to relax and have a homebrew, Android
can be found taking apart his computer. A software engineer by day,
software engineer / beer drinker by night, Andrew is constantly trying
to put the computer *in* the beer (or vice versa). Currently, he
works in the R&D department of Bloomberg LP quietly distributing
bottle conditioned Hefeweizen to the geek elite. Mike has not tried
the beer -- yet.
