So, I kinda slagged off the Rooftop Films listings this month, which is totally lame of me. However, I got a special note from Drew Henkels who I first “met” while he was interning for Rooftop last year. Now, this year he’s the live music performer before the films showing Thursday July 26, which is probably tonight by the time you’re reading this.

As if anybody needs me to note the concept again, Rooftop is the summer-long film festival held on rooftops all over NYC. This particular screening is on the roof of the Westbeth Artists’ Community at 55 Bethune St. Movies start at 9 p.m., which I’ll list below, but if you want to hear Drew perform, he goes on at 8:30 p.m. I have Drew’s EP, which is really amazing and which I reviewed here, and here’s a party video of him doing his thing. I highly recommend going to see Drew. He’s a great guy and a great musician. The short films playing after him are just a bonus. Also below is a really nice poster Drew painted himself for the event.
