The Filmshop Presents UNPROTECTED: official website; Chinese Ruffians. Unsightly Celebrity. Girl adrift. Vulnerable Narcissists. Humdrum Penetration.
This is just a sample of what you get when thirty filmmakers reflect on the theme of UNPROTECTED.

On Saturday, February 27th, the Music Hall of Williamsburg screens UNPROTECTED, a series of 2 minute
films by members of The FilmShop, formerly part of the Brooklyn Filmmakers Collective. Varied in style
and genre, these shorts from the Brooklyn and newly formed Hong Kong chapters, present a wide response
to the theme of exposed vulnerability. More than just a film screening, the event includes special
performances by Emanuel and the Fear and Hank and Cupcakes, followed by a DJ. The purpose of the party
is to celebrate the conclusion of The FilmShop’s first season and the launch of their new website.

Emanuel & The Fear: official website; myspace; With a sound that derives itself from composers and songwriters across the board, Emanuel & the Fear is an extraordinary 11-piece orchestra-rock band that focuses on intertwining the modern day pop song with extravagant and complex composition.

Drawing from romantic and modern composers like Beethoven, Rachmaninoff, and Glass; and then fusing in a modern rock sound like Arcade Fire, Bright Eyes, Daft Punk and Sufjan Stevens; Emanuel & the Fear displays a true understanding of sound all-the-while capturing audiences with their climactic electro/orchestral arrangements and quivering, poetic lyrics.

Emanuel & the Fear are currently recording their full-length album at Ishlab Music Studios (Jet, Kudu, and Dead Prez) and are comprised of members who have played/toured with Sufjan Stevens, The National, Akron/Family, and Bryan Scary & the Shredding Tears.

Brooklyn's EMANUEL AND THE FEAR is an extraordinary 11-piece orchestra-rock band that focuses on
intertwining the modern day pop song with extravagant and complex composition. "… a massively ambitious
rock and roll orchestra…" –The L Magazine

Hank & Cupcakes: myspace; "Butt shaking and heartbreaking at the same time, Hank & Cupcakes' distinctively beat-driven electro-pop bursts with fresh bass hook lines, sexy grooved and remarkably multifaceted vocals. Their immediate and straight forward sound offers an amazing mix of emotive power and free thinker attitudes exploding into stirring electro fantasies..."
