Project By
Has not connected their Facebook account.
I'm a photographer and film-maker from Brooklyn, NY. Most of my work is an examination of urban landscapes and the multiple ways we configure our daily experiences.
My first 3 jobs: babysitting, bartending, and loading 16mm film cameras from the front row of summer concerts for HBO.
Still no DVD or poster :(
Hi Amy --
The invite was only redeemable for the premiere of the film in December. The screenings are now all a bit different (some we're spearheading, others are collaborative or independent), but in all these cases, ticketing happens independent from Kickstarter rewards (though a number of events are free).
Come out and join us -- and be sure to say hello when you do.
Cheers,
Jacob
Hello Jacob,
I was wondering how do we redeem the invite to your screenings? So excited to see the finished product! -Amy
Hi! When are the DVDs being sent out? While I dont mind watching the installments on Gothamist, I'm a little jealous of the folks in Brooklyn, Denver, etc who are seeing the full length film before I have...
Hi,
I'm excited about the forthcoming release! One little problem: I just went to the "Thanks" page (http://girlwalkallday.com/thanks) and was disappointed to find my name wasn't on the list, even though I supported at the level that is supposed to give me an Associate Producer credit. Could you have a look and see what is up.
Thanks!
Just a quick note to say I'm looking fwd to the finished project and coming to NYC for the premiere. On the cameos, I hope there are still kids making it up "on the block" as they were in the 80s (like Rosie Perez does in the opening credits to Spike Lee's "Do The Right Thing"), and that you capture a few sweet moments of their genius and joie de vivre. Best to you and your crew! Rick Ellis
This is a great project. If you are looking for another freestyle dance devotee....I spent all last year making a dance video every day for my Freebox Everyday Dance project www.thefreebox.org. I'd love to participate somehow....
Jacob, I am trying to donate more $$$$ but site is not allowing me to do so?!:0
I want to give another $30 x 2, because I want to get two more DVD's for my daughters... I gave last week and again earlier this eve, but now when I try again to donate it is not taking me to Amazon.com site. What's up... I am not in the money (I work as a nurse), but I am so inspired by you and Anne that I want to support you in honor of my daughters who spent their youth dancing in my basement in front of the mirror and ballet bar, only to crack up laughing after one to many hip hop moves took control of their body parts!!
Girl Talk has some awesome jams! I really dig this project, and I'm sure my friends will love to check it out!
PS: You guys should check out my project, "Get Out Alive". Our original goal was set at $500, and we surpassed that in nine days. Now we're trying to reach $1000.

Amazing! I love it!
Read about this and checked it out - it made me so happy just watching! Uplifting, inspiring, JOYFUL! Anne, I love what you said about what you'd be doing if there was no one else on earth: dancing! I believe you - your spirit is amazing. Rock it, you guys! Can hardly wait for the whole film!
Anne's a great dancer, obviously with lots of stamina. I think her lines would be cleaner, and it would be more enjoyable, if she took her jacket off. Keep going and good luck!
good luck with this,amazing by the way
Amazing project
This is such a beautiful project. Best of luck!
aloha~~ wishing you all the best with your awesome project! lots of love from the land where palm trees sway!
Just donated! SO STOKED. Whatever help you need in SF, I'm here for you. And... I have a BIG projector for some public screenings. :). YEAH!!
You guys make us happy.
What are you shooting this on? HD SLR? Looks great! Thanks!
this whole thing makes me laugh and smile :)
love to pledge again if you guys come to germany and i pledge for cameo.
the best
Hopefully you can make it out to San Francisco. Everyone would absolutely love to see it out here.
@Sarah: Hi there! Send us an email at girlwalk *at* gmail.com and we'll get right down to it.
Jacob, I made my pledge early and received a cameo spot. Do you have any details regarding the cameo so I can mark my calendar? Thank you!
this is awesome! let me know if you need any new york help! I work production and would glad to help!
IM DEDICATING MY pledge to all the innocent street-on-lookers, standerbyes, oh, bystanders!-who endure the shock of seeing a lady so fancy and light on her feet that yes, She is dancing, in public, just because she must! Ahoy!
Best to you Jacob. Kickstarter provides an awesome opportunity for everyone to realize their dreams.
Are you coming through Chicago? Give a shout if we can help out.
We are preparing our project "The Last Shuttle" and hope to have it up and running on Kickstarter in the next two weeks.
You guys are killing it with the fund raising. Kudos! Can't wait to see the finished piece and I hope to bump into you all while filming and two step with you in passing.
I'm dedicating my pledge to my daughter, Saskia, affectionately (or not) known as the "Dancing Lady". She hooks up her iPod &dances the streets of Truckee, California. Last summer she was actually detained by the Truckee police for dancing down the street. Evidently, "there's a law...." Thank you in advance for possibly opening some minds and spirits.
I really found this project interesting
I think the video you did is really is very inspiring
good job
Oh man this is completely awesome.
@Blaine: We'll start in NYC, but LA is definitely in the cards. Though there are millions of little steps to be taken before then, it shall be done! We'll keep you posted. Thanks for the good spirit.
Jacob-- Was the opening going to be in NY, LA, or you don't know yet? Amazing stuff!
@Paul: Fingers crossed for this summer. We have some venue ideas, but will definitely be seeking interesting places for it.
@ Sarah: We're out of cameo options! We're trying to shoot pretty discreetly, so cameo performances will be happening in NY in fairly under-the-radar places.
Jacob-- I love Girltalk! So excited about this project... good luck!
Just out of curiosity, how will the cameo appearances work out? Will they only be done in New York or will you travel to us? AND, can the cameos include dancing if our skills are up to par? ;) Thank you for this amazing project, I am so looking forward to supporting you and being a part of this innovative concept!!
It is great to see dance like this! When did you say the Los Angeles screening is happening? !!
What a wonderful project. My favourite place to dance is on the bus as it sways round the roundabouts. If its radio is on, all the better.
This is such a cool concept....it makes me want to dance in the streets...even when people are looking :) Jacob - I checked out your other work, really inspirational. Congrats on getting funded!
I'm almost finished making a free iPad app based around All Day. It's so cool to witness other creative works flowing from a single seed and it's all possible because of the Creative Commons license. Keep up the good work, guys!
@Pieter: Hate to leave you uncertain, but we need to think about it. We're shooting in a lot of tricky environments to stage performances in, and we want to consider how many extra people we'll have with us. Email us at girlwalk@gmail.com, and let us know you're interested. Thx!
Any chance of opening more cameo spots?
Hurrah for public displays of dancing! This project makes me feel happy! Can't wait to see more. Have fun!
This my friends is the 'ish. I made sure to let people know, huge congrats guys. I am so excited about this project.
@Jacob I'm in Stockholm, Sweden, a place that should be seen in the summer, not in February or any other cold dark month :)
Hi. I am obsessed with this project and upset that Anne is not on Twitter. If I donate $5 (the best I can do, unfortch), will Anne join Twitter/be my friend?
Olof -- We're with you there and have the feeling our iTunes "Most Played" list must look pretty similar. We're really pumped to go all the way with this. Where in Sweden are you? It's good to map out our dream destinations.
I think I've listened to "All Day" a million times by now and loved every second of it. So happy someone makes a dance video to it. Hope you make the pledge!
