WRESTLING THEN & NOW- THE MOVIE AVAILABLE FROM ACCLAIMED DIRECTOR DWAYNE WALKER & EVAN GINZBURG- ASSOCIATE PRODUCER OF THE WRESTLER

 

It was seven years in the making.But it’s finally here.

Wrestling- Then & Now- The Movie is a documentary from noted underground film director Dwayne Walker and the Associate Producer of The Wrestler, Evan Ginzburg.

Go on the road with Evan as he talks to the greats of the sport in a film that has something for everyone.

If you’re a fan of “old school”- who better than the late, great Killer Kowalski, Nikolai Volkoff, and Don “Dr. Death” Arnold to show you the ropes as they talk about not only wrestling but their philosophies on life and the extraordinary experiences they’ve had travelling the world?

And if you’re a fan of today’s wrestling, see a young, outspoken Homicide, hardcore icon Lowlife Louis Ramos and indie stars from coast to coast talk about all aspects of the sport:  injuries, “the road”, the women’s division, overzealous fans, the ever-present “paying dues,” and much, much more.

Plus one of the casualties of the wrestling game, Tiger Khan, talks about the path he was on- filmed just a few years before his untimely passing at age 33.

It’s a film that takes you deep inside the pro wrestling world- and particularly the real East Coast indie scene.

And for you fans of women’s wrestling, you don’t want to miss the clips of ultra stiff body builder, Kasie Kavanaugh, in her ring debut with former WWE worker Bryan Walsh. This is truly different.

New Book- “Apartment 4B, Like In Brooklyn” Relives Turbulent 1960s-1970s

Autobiographical short story collection, “Apartment 4B, Like In Brooklyn,” relives bygone times of Brooklyn, New York in the 1960s and 1970s.

Flushing, NY January 1, 2006 — It was a turbulent time of great social upheaval.

And in the middle of it stood a child and his pals.

In this autobiographical short story collection, Evan Ginzburg looks back at growing up in the racially changing East Flatbush, Brooklyn of the 1960s and 1970s. From the beautiful friendships he made to the dangers and humiliations he faced, these gritty street tales will keep readers enthralled. With stories ranging from nostalgic to heart-rending, he pulls no punches as he looks back at a Brooklyn that is now lost forever.

“We read several tales on the air and they’re funny, poignant and most certainly memorable,” stated New York DJ Fred Geobold, of 50,000 watt WBAI-FM’s Light Show in New York City.   Read additional reviews here.

Cultural icons such as Bruce Lee, Pam Grier, James Brown, Fred Williamson, Marvin Gaye, pro wrestling champion Bruno Sammartino and many other heroes of the era add magical memories that will transport readers back to this bygone time.
