CARMINE STREET GUITARS

The new film by veteran documentarian Ron Mann (Comic Book Confidential, Grass) is a behind-the-scenes look at a Greenwich Village institution that seems out of place and out of time in its now-trendy neighborhood. At Carmine Street Guitars, custom guitar maker Rick Kelly and a young apprentice build handcrafted instruments out of reclaimed wood for customers ranging from Lou Reed and Bob Dylan to Patti Smith and Jim Jarmusch. “A love letter—to New York, to the bohemians and musicians who still live there come hell or high water, to the art of crafting a damn fine customized Stratocaster, to taking pride in your work, to shooting the shit and most importantly, to finding a place for fellow freaks and misfits to call home.” –Rolling Stone. Cleveland premiere. DCP. 80 min.
