Difficult Times - The Art and Protest of Thomas Delaney
Difficult Times is about the unusual response of Thomas Delaney to the burning of his home in the fall of 2005. Living in a building on Amsterdam Avenue in New York City, he and about fifty other tenants awoke to an early morning raging fire. Two people died, the rest were forced to vacate. The landlord tried to condemn the building, then boarded it up and refused to repair it. Delaney took to the streets in protest, playing loud blues guitar in front of the building daily for almost nine months, determined to draw attention to the plight of himself and the others. Antagonistic, angry, filled with song and verse, he challenged others to get involved.
Difficult Times is a short version of a longer edit that I am working on, hoping to complete it sometime in 2008. The short version is meant to stand on it?s own. I have followed Delaney for a few years now (we have been neighbors for many years but never met until he took to the streets) and the story is in many ways about his emergence from a life of seclusion into becoming someone who wants to get involved and help others through his music.
The video was shot in DV and is representative of the kind of independent documentary/community based stories that I have been creating for a number of years.
Best Wishes,
