NATIVE NEW YORKER - DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT “Native New Yorker” was shot through the eye & body of a 1924 hand-crank, spring-wound Cine-Kodak camera, which I found at a flea market at 26th & 6th in the Chelsea area of Manhattan in 1999. The camera cost me less than half the cost of the island of Manhattan (supposedly sold for $24 in 1724 ano, but actually stolen by occupied forces on Native American territories). The camera cost $9.00 dollars and change, and was purchased from an Australian Aboriginal, trying to get back home to the outback.. Interesting that the main subject of this film is an American Aboriginal; Terry 'Coyote' Murphy, of Gaelic/Cherokee dissent.
