Speaking For Myself- A new film directed by Bert Shapiro
Against a background of “unseen” Manhattan, Speaking for Myself tells the inspiring story of eight contemporary artists living in New York City. Speaking for Myself pulls back the curtain so that we see the world through the artist’s eyes, their passions, inspirations, hard work and persistence. A uniquely fascinating and motivating journey. Featuring a dancer, a concert pianist, an actress, a Noh performer, a multi-instrumentalist, a tabla virtuoso, an organist and a singing poet. This very personal film focuses on the work and passions of these varied performing artists. Artists from the film, as well as the film’s director will be on hand to answer questions.

@WHAT THE FUCK …is up with all this shit in BROOKLYN? Fuck you, bwog. Fuck you and your hipster leanings.
@Hm. If that’s actually true…
…then you’re not doing it right.
@I LOL’d. Then again, drunk already. Happy Spring Break, everyone!!!!
@Anonymous is the best!!
@Anonymous Christ, I’d rather eat a steaming pile of Santorum’s shit (literally and figuratively) then stay on campus.
Sorry for all the international students. I’ll take a bite of the shitpie in solidarity.
@Anonymous Sheesh. I guess the people on campus really don’t like eating Santorum Shitpie…might I suggest a nice Malbec to complement the Shitpie’s more sour notes, perhaps a dinner for 2?
Right…this is Columbia so you’re probably going to eat alone in your room and wonder why you have a half-empty bag of Franzia next to that pile of Santorum regurgitated spittle in the morning.
I for one will be having a jolly old time making an ass of myself in the presence of upstanding ladies and gentleman. Good day, godspeed, and happy spring break!
