THIS SIDE OF MIDNIGHT
a feature documentary in postproduction
THIS SIDE OF MIDNIGHT is an immersive, archivally-driven, arts and culture feature documentary film about the influential post Warhol generation of artists of who formed an enduring community at Club 57.
Telling the story of the original influencers and creative iconoclasts who brought underground culture to the mainstream, the film revisits a densely vivid moment of New York history that bridges the Studio 54 and Reagan eras with the AIDS crisis and Giuliani years, from the perspectives of those who survived.
THIS SIDE OF MIDNIGHT is being produced by Erin Wright (THE NEW BAUHAUS).

"Lisanne Skyler's documentary on South Central Los Angeles clocks in at just under an hour, but the stories it tells -- by turns devastating and infuriating -- lingers.
Working in a direct cinema style, Skyler manages an anatomy of a neighborhood by way of a pawnshop, finding and listening to voices not generally heard."

"Short documentaries can be a kind of nonfiction poetry. Images, editing and sound are sometimes as important as verbal cues and exposition. Such is the case in Lisanne Skyler’s 'A Few Things About Robert Irwin'"
