Up At Lou's Fish's Blurbs |
About me:
Up at Lou's Fish is a video documentary following the lives of the Fulton Fish Market community as they prepare their relocation to Hunt's Point in the Bronx. This will be the only move in the market's 180 year history.
Because of the Fulton Fish market's hours, nature of work and family tradition, it is and has always been an insular communitynature. For over a century, one did not apply for a job here, one was "brought down." This is just now beginning to change, ans only every so slightly. Because of this, it is not an easy world to enter.
At the same time, the people who have made it a point to infiltrate the market, out of a true interest and respect for the people there, have all been embraced whole heartedly and with open arms.
I have had the great pleasure to make acquantances with Evita Mendiola, of one of the few people interested in making the Fulton Fish Market a part of their lives.
When Evita decided to photograph the market, she didn't simply stop for a quick snap shot. Instead, she went night after night in the best and worst of conditions, experienced the nature of their lives through their stories, and most of all, treated them with the respect of a friend instead of an outside photographer.
This movie would not have been possible without her.
The crew is made up by a group of dedicated New Yorkers, devoted to preserving the city in which we were raised. New York has a history that is not always glamorous or pretty, and that is its ultimate charm.
In a city always changing, the only thing left to do is to tell it's stories, and hope there is a public interested in listening. . .
