Internets Celebrities interviewed on local NY television

by rafi on June 6, 2008

We were interviewed a few nights ago on the Brian Lehrer show which airs to the five boroughs of NYC on CUNY TV. The staff – all the way up to Lehrer himself – made us feel really welcome and seemed to be genuine fans of our work which was probably the best part.

But the highlight of the evening for me may have been just before I left my house when my daughter ran over to me, grabbed the bottom of my shirt and begged me to take her with me so she could be on TV too.

When you’re a kid the idea of being on television is magical. I guess it still is something special even when you’re supposed to be a grown-up.

Hey folks,

I saw your film "Bodega" last night at the Newark Black Film Festival in Trenton. Hilarious. Dallas was on hand to answer questions after the film and was ever so diplomatic in not blasting this older woman who doesn't get humor. The interview with Brian Lehrer was insightful and funny. I'd love for you guys to work with me on my film. Keep up the good work!

I just wanted to say thank ya'll to the three of you, not only is that shit funny as hell but its real too. I live in VA and in southside Norfolk where the disenfranchised like myself live there is 10 check-cashing/money loan places to every bank so good look on shinin some light on a huge problem...Get paid for this somehow. "Cereal" was hilarious too.

Ha! My bad Tahero.

I just get paranoid when someone I don't really know emails me out of the blue to ask about a project I'm late on. Like it made me think, is the client sending spies?

See what that college-weed did to me?

I'll hit you up with a reply tonight.

Great Video! Great Interview!

Wal-Mart has taken a play from the Check Cashing Spots: I'm certain that you have to walk past the electronic / womens / produce departments to get to the window where they cash your stimulus check - free of charge.
