Authentic NY of Starving Artists

My first home in NYC was the YMCA across the street from the Chelsea Hotel and thus I feel qualified to say that Ethan Hawke's new film "Chelsea Walls" provides a very authentic glimpse into the lives of classic New York starving artists. Shot entirely on DV, the intimate grit of the daily struggle for love, inspiration, food, and cab fare is reminiscent of Vinterberg's 1998 dogma film "The Celebration" which Hawke affirms was an inspiration for this project. Take a peek into the lives in a few of the rooms in the legendary Chelsea Hotel in "Chelsea Walls", opening 19 April 2002.

The eclectic cast of characters includes: On-again, off-again married couple with no discernable legal occupation (Mark Webber & Rosario Dawson). A lonely waitress and moody painter with highly-charged yet unrequited chemistry (Vincent D'Onofrio & Uma Thurman). Minnesota musicians desperately searching for purpose, but enjoying Wally and the Beavers in the meantime (Robert Sean Leonard & Steve Zahn). And an emotionally-distant alcoholic writer who draws inspiration from the passion of both his lover and his wife (Kris Kristofferson, Tuesday Weld & Natasha Richardson).
