Captured

For New York’s Clayton Patterson, the man has been on the front lines of the the New York’s Lower East Side for the last 30 years capturing everything from the craziness of the 80s all the way to the recent gentrification taking place. Despite numerous run-ins with the law, Patterson’s interest for capturing the eclectic micro-society has not waned as all things unusual have inevitably become the focus of his documentation. Sharing some of his experiences on the movie screen, an upcoming documentary titled Captured is a rare look into the world of the LES with much footage coming from Patterson’s archives. Produced by Ben vs. Dan Productions with a help of Ben Solomon, Daniel Levin, Jenner Furst as well as Blowback Productions with Marc Levin as executive producter, the film is set for its debut on August 22nd at New York’s New Museum Theater. The film The trailer can be seen after the jump as well as an extensive interview from 2004.
