About the "Ginkers" Documentary

Posted on 8:00 AM by Rob

Conceived as a love letter to the 1980s subculture of metal-heads that roamed malls and parking lots in New Jersey, Ginkers eventually became a feature-length project that has shown at local film festivals and gained an avid and loyal following online.

The popularity of this relatively small project is owed in part to the resurgence and nostalgia for anything 1980s. However, unlike most 80s films and productions, Ginkers lacks much of the ironic snarkiness and instead relies on the moments of comedy and truth that are delivered through the unvarnished stories and lives of its subjects.

The film wrapped production in 2009 and is currently in post. A summer 2010 release is planned.
