Made In Queens is a short film that lifts the lid on an underground scene emerging in the outskirts of New York’s Queens borough (QB!). The film is Directed by Nicolas Randall and Joe Stevens, the film looks at a small group of Trinidadian teenagers who are obsessed with customizing their bmx bikes with obscenely massive sound systems (I use obscenely as a positive).
“In this age of obsessive video sharing and social networking, nearly every action is designed and packaged for public consumption. Especially with young people,” says co-director Joe Stevens. “The immediate charm of Nick and his crew is that they’re the exact opposite of all that. There is nothing calculated or self-conscious about who they are. They’re just a group of friends doing some thing to challenge themselves and have some laughs. It’s a story which would have never come from kids who were born here.”
