UpThere: Mekanism and Mother Make Film About Beer, Hand-painted Ads

By Matt Van Hoven 

Last night at a screening room in the basement of the Crosby Hotel, members of the Mother New York and Mekanism teams met to watch the debut screening (uh, maybe not the debut) if UpThere, a 12:45 short film about the dying art of hand-painting outdoor ads. It’s pasted above, and you should give it a watch. We’re not going to answer your “how does this sell beer” questions kids. You’re the creatives &#151 figure that one out for yourselves.

Kickass shooting/editing/directing by Malcolm Murray at Mekanism.
