Corso – The Last Beat

“Corso – The Last Beat” Preview from Damien LeVeck on Vimeo.

Among the interesting people I met at Boyd 2007 was the director Gustave Reininger, a colorful character with whom I had a few drinks while we discussed Chicago politics and a number of his film projects. One of them, Corso -The Last Beat  about beatnik legend Gregory Corso, is nearing release. Check out the trailer and sound off in the comments.
