THE WOLFPACK is a documentary examining six brothers in Manhattan that have created an isolated world with a peculiar charm to it. Focusing on their blending of cinema, fashion and remarkably distanced perception of the outside world (filtered through the movies), we look at a clip from the movie and get the story behind the film and family from director Crystal Moselle. Shot direct from the 2015 Sundance Film Fest premiere of the movie, it is a fascinating look at the movie on the world’s only documentary talk show, BYOD.
GUEST BIO & FILM INFO:
Crystal Moselle has been merging the rawness of street culture with high fashion since moving to NYC years ago. Her long and short form films have been featured at the Tribeca Film Festival and in The New York Times.
Six bright teenage brothers have spent their entire lives locked away from society in a Manhattan housing project. All they know of the outside is gleaned from the movies they watch obsessively (and recreate meticulously). Yet as adolescence looms, they dream of escape, ever more urgently, into the beckoning world.
