Do you ever have one of those moments where your walking down the street by yourself, and for some reason maybe its the way the sun is shining, or a great song plays from a passing car and you realize in that moment you are simply happy?



Simplicity. 


Film and music. One message relayed to millions. One emotion understood by all. You don't even have to know each other. 


How is it possible that a song  can effect us so deeply and yet a news report about a tidal flood across the world could leave us so unaffected? 


If you could relay one message to the world, what would it be? And how would you go about it?


trixie picks of the day:


song- News by Jack Johnson


movie-Goodfellas- because theres a good side to everyone....right?


obsession: living in the moment

Today was the launch of the Manhattan Film Festival in the upper west side. Featuring over 70 films from across the entire world- this fest was full of some AMAZING work.  We saw some great works, check out ManhattanFilmFest.org. Also we were lucky enough to meet and interview several of the filmmakers for the film festivals website. Be sure to tune in soon to see our videos!!

Food Blogging
VAI on w 77th and broadway we had THE best food!! Ever.

truffle piazza with fresh parmesan cheee and a crunchy ass crust, served piping hot on a wooden board. My god i just died when they pulled this out.

rigatoni and sausage- best sauce, its so good to finally find a restaurant with a great red sauce, you know everywhere you go they fuck around with the sauce, either its crap Ragu in an economy size can like the lunch ladies used to serve or they try to add too much pizazz and salt to the sauce. This was simply cheesy, delicious and perfect, oh my hold on while i wipe the drool away from my face.


hamachi crudo
oh now i am usually not a fan of seafood at all, didnt eat it for fifteen years because my siblings used to chase e around the house with shrimp heads when I was a kid, scared me until now. Anyway, this hamachi is like butter, doesnt taste like fish and just dressed in the finest silks of ingredients, soy bean leaves, avocado and olive oil.

But im not going to lie, if you want a good hamachi go to the mark restaurant by jean georges, that will just make you die of ecstasy. Your gonna like the hamachi you eat, I guarantee it.

ELMO in chelsea

This restaurant is super trendy and blasting old school Britney jams all the time, the inside is beautiful and all the servers are wearing shirts that are half  unbuttoned. What looks like a great place for late night eating is exactly that, it just "looks" ike a great place.

The food was so dull and half assed. We ordered some appetizers to just try first and we couldnt even stay cause they were so bad. We got the gazpacho- tasted like campbells tomato soup. (refer to my red sauce statement before- whats with the cans?)

and the guacomole was terrible, how can you fuck up guacamole, its so easy? I dont think they even put in any lemon juice or cilantro. and im pretty sure they used normal bagged tostitos. Wow, thanks ELMO for getting our hopes up. Your just like the new kid who moves into town and looks halfway decent, then they open their mouth  and sound like a moose.

Well, regardless, stay tuned to check out more and read more of my rants.

What Whaat?!!


Exciting news! We have a new video up- its part of  our new segment- "Vicarious- The Interviews"
Featuring Seamus Navarro- a traveling beat poet we stumbled into during our road trip across the entire country. 


Watch it here!!

Have you ever wanted to travel? Sometimes the greatest experiences are those that we just let happen and don't plan. Let spontaneity take control! -and yes, I do write fortune cookie lines as a hobby.


Let us know what you think!


Trixie Picks of the Day:


song- Screaming Females- Boyfriend ( Like Yeah Yeah Yeahs but more hardcore... watch this video- its ridiculous)


movie- Rebel Without a Cause (A classic, I love to analyze this film, and as a plus I was at the same location in CA this movie was shot before)


obsession- Discovering good things about people you kind of hated... It's really hard for me to hate people, and when I do, it really bothers me that someone could bring me to this sick point. But I love when someone redeems themselves and turns out to be actually pretty funny and is nice. It takes off the stress of thinking of reasons why you hate this person every time you see them. Now, you can spend your time thinking of witty catchphrases to "start" amongst your friends like, "thats what she said!"

Alas, Trixie Productions is going strong and we've been busy. Our most recent idea, FOOD 66 is in the middle of discussion with some pa 

FOOD 66 is a traveling food show in which the best chef from each of the 50 states is challenged to recreate signature dishes while cooking on the side of the road.

Yes, we just had to add "the road" to the show. Road trips are addictive, what can I say?

In more recent news, we are collaborating with some Pace film writers on a short titled, "Safe is Sexy" at the end of this month in CT.

We also checked out amazing band-Minus the Bear- live in NYC. Amazing show, our goal now is to contact them if we can use their music in our documentary, "Making it." Fingers crossed!

We're constantly working on new ideas everyday (even though it is obscenely hot out). Stay tuned for more with trixie.
