The film reveals the inner workings of a fiercely creative, complex union, from inception to implosion; and it shows how outside pressures – day jobs, financial struggles, socio-cultural differences, family and friends – impact the creative process. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5566d690e4b0f4ca9cd62eb9/0d1ab424-00fc-4c0f-9a5e-8607f93410da/ptr+facebook+cover+r2.png Paint the Rust - Screener - Rui Abrunheiro is the band’s dark, emotionally tormented leader, who produces the arrangements and plays guitar. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5566d690e4b0f4ca9cd62eb9/195f49dd-65d2-485a-9b93-d53986c59592/Screen+Shot+2015-12-16+at+4.50.43+PM.jpg Paint the Rust - Screener - Kelly Pinho is the fiery, abrasive and brutally earnest writer-singer, who battles with low self-esteem, alcohol abuse and a harsh childhood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5566d690e4b0f4ca9cd62eb9/17252df4-4fab-400f-ba73-682d91f1a045/Screen+Shot+2015-12-16+at+4.57.15+PM.jpg Paint the Rust - Screener - Carlos Ferreira is the playboy drummer, who doubles as a Portuguese media personality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5566d690e4b0f4ca9cd62eb9/67aa65cd-4512-444d-83b9-43d17dea1d39/Pianos_4-18-11_6.jpg Paint the Rust - Screener - Story / Summary Kelly and Rui have a complex relationship, which is further challenged by the ever present Sharon, Rui’s deliciously devious girlfriend, self-anointed muse and Kelly’s bartending colleague. As the band performs more regularly at more renown music venues in NJ and NY, the tension between Rui, Kelly and Sharon ratchets up. The group works hard to record and launch their debut E.P. album, but emotional strains within the band spills over into confrontation, and the results are explosive, even on stage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5566d690e4b0f4ca9cd62eb9/a79abab5-a3a5-40ff-8ea5-0fcf1b4a6308/Screen+Shot+2022-03-16+at+2.04.42+PM.png Paint the Rust - Screener - Raw and Intimate The documentary presents a raw, intimate portrait of the band’s dramatic journey through completely unscripted dialogue scenes, musical performances, solo moments and interviews with the protagonists. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5566d690e4b0f4ca9cd62eb9/ea988d42-b3f8-41b8-b3d4-aa13743830ef/Screen+Shot+2022-03-16+at+2.05.39+PM.png Paint the Rust - Screener - Neighborhood Enter the Ironbound district, a multi-ethnic neighborhood (home to one of the largest Portuguese-American communities in the USA) located inside the violent city of Newark, New Jersey. This is the milieu that the band members have sprung from – a scrappy, rough-around-the-edges city filled with diverse dreamers, strivers, criminals and survivors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5566d690e4b0f4ca9cd62eb9/1647440194718-DAOHSEJC45FR4MMG8FWZ/Screen+Shot+2022-03-16+at+2.07.34+PM.png Paint the Rust - Screener https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5566d690e4b0f4ca9cd62eb9/1647440257343-RRFQLEKQVFFF8PZMMUGJ/Screen+Shot+2022-03-16+at+2.04.42+PM.png Paint the Rust - Screener https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5566d690e4b0f4ca9cd62eb9/1647440117655-ZN9JDQXWDCBMD7PY2CMZ/Screen+Shot+2022-03-16+at+2.06.56+PM.png Paint the Rust - Screener https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5566d690e4b0f4ca9cd62eb9/5c4d61db-c843-48be-81fb-c02f754fc1d6/Pianos_4-18-11_13.jpg Paint the Rust - Screener - Filmmaking Style With principal photography kicking off in 2010 and continuing over the next seven years, the documentary goes beyond whether a band can “make it.” The film is a portrait of how people find meaning and purpose through artistic expression. Yuri Alves and his camera bring in the viewer as a fly on the wall for all the verité action. You can feel the raw intimacy, passion and authenticity of the subjects who both forget the camera entirely and at times super aware, confessing directly to it. This film is indebted to Cassavetes and to all filmmaking warriors of true independent cinema. http://www.yurialves.com/editor2020 daily 0.75 2020-01-10 http://www.yurialves.com/directors-reel daily 0.75 2024-10-21 http://www.yurialves.com/rzrseries daily 0.75 2025-03-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5566d690e4b0f4ca9cd62eb9/732611ef-3a85-40a0-b969-7737ae8f79a5/IMG_5472.JPG RZR | SERIES - Make it stand out Iconic actress Mena Suvari has been nominated for a primetime Emmy for her role in the series “RZR” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5566d690e4b0f4ca9cd62eb9/a7effaeb-c73b-459c-9759-4ac7682ee248/RZR+Film+Threat+3.JPG RZR | SERIES - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5566d690e4b0f4ca9cd62eb9/1691130793502-GYCFALS7O6H8R8FPIRQM/Screenshot+2023-08-04+at+2.31.27+AM.png RZR | SERIES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5566d690e4b0f4ca9cd62eb9/1691130054630-U2U3ATB4W83FSOTH8RAH/Screenshot+2023-08-04+at+2.10.01+AM.png RZR | SERIES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5566d690e4b0f4ca9cd62eb9/1691459249837-4QV9IR5NLYMDVO0YAJOR/Screenshot%2B2023-08-04%2Bat%2B2.12.46%2BAM.jpg RZR | SERIES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5566d690e4b0f4ca9cd62eb9/1691130031939-MMT07MB0WIECZC788HZ5/Screenshot+2023-08-04+at+2.08.13+AM.png RZR | SERIES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5566d690e4b0f4ca9cd62eb9/1691130767567-B46JI2TQQZODJEBULGEP/Screenshot+2023-08-04+at+2.30.53+AM.png RZR | SERIES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5566d690e4b0f4ca9cd62eb9/1691130487155-SVZSBUP3MEQKXJZE8TMJ/Screenshot+2023-08-04+at+2.12.16+AM.png RZR | SERIES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5566d690e4b0f4ca9cd62eb9/751644d2-0f8e-41f5-a3cc-c07ac4ae5c58/MV5BYjE3NDFjZTctNThmNi00NTU0LWFlNzAtMThhYmNiNTc5OGEzXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMjg1Nzg1Mw%40%40._V1_.jpg RZR | SERIES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5566d690e4b0f4ca9cd62eb9/1691134931511-EG68YVN9RVCZ0A82A9Z9/Screenshot+2023-08-04+at+3.41.57+AM.png RZR | SERIES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5566d690e4b0f4ca9cd62eb9/1691134484070-X6HRH7L62YFUXXU4A4L3/Screenshot%2B2023-08-04%2Bat%2B3.22.59%2BAM.jpg RZR | SERIES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5566d690e4b0f4ca9cd62eb9/1691134061691-RFUQL8LR9N0CLFBFZL0G/Screenshot+2023-08-04+at+3.27.28+AM.png RZR | SERIES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5566d690e4b0f4ca9cd62eb9/1691133607595-YZQ8DIX0ZL9W8K2X31KU/Screenshot+2023-08-04+at+3.19.56+AM.png RZR | SERIES http://www.yurialves.com/emerge daily 0.75 2024-06-17 http://www.yurialves.com/filhadelei daily 0.75 2022-10-27 http://www.yurialves.com/spokenword daily 0.75 2025-04-06 http://www.yurialves.com/commercial-reel daily 0.75 2024-11-12 http://www.yurialves.com/commercial-page daily 0.75 2024-11-25
