NorthernTribeNY by Stav Hadary (final doc)
Documentary Short Idea
For my documentary, I am really excited about taking my story directly into my own house and showing the quirks of my family. Both of my parents, first generation Immigrants from Colombia and Israel created their own small business. NorthernTribeNY, which is a graphic design and silkscreen printing company, has been a huge part of creating the culture of my family. It’s been a family run business start to end, so much to the point that our printing shop is in our basement. Work is done right out of our house, and everyone plays a huge part in making it function for so many years. I want to film my family in their most natural state, and show how interesting and unique of a work/family life we are lucky to have. Another interesting angle to play into with it is how because we have our business in the basement, work and play are no longer separate entities. Every night, all myself and my brother’s childhood friends come over and we hang out in that basement for hours. Even recently, it’s become a new thing to draw with sharpies all over the inventory boxes. When I was younger, having this business didn’t have nearly the same role in my life as it does now, and I would love to give my family’s business the narrative it so strongly deserves.
