In April 2019 we presented two sold out nights of Danny Garcia's documentary film STIV: No Compromise No Regrets, complete with Director's Q&A and musical performances by Frank Secich and friends after the screening. People came from all over for this event and were not disappointed.
Fixer produced the NYC premier screening of Chris Penn's film
Live From The Astroturf, Alice Cooper , shown with Dennis
Dunaway's rock cinema short Cold Cold Coffin. It's hard to tell what
moment was the highlight of the evening with two amazing films,
stellar Q&A panels and an unbelievable live music performance by,
well, almost everyone that capped the night. But this was the
surprise, blast from the past balloon drop where everyone realized
they were part of a once-in-a-lifetime moment.
A memorable night was had by all!
We produced the New York theatrical premier of Damian Kolodiy's The Bitch Movie, a sizzling rock doc about the legendary BITCH nights at the fabled downtown NYC club Don Hill's. Featuring electric live performances and heartfelt interviews with performers, producers and fans, The Bitch Movie was an homage to a bygone scene. The night of the screening was a reunion of many of the key personalities of the film; the Q&A was spirited and the after party ran into the wee hours.
All in all, 2019 was a grand year for Fixer Productions and the many talented colleagues we were fortunate to work with!

LOST ROCKERS: Broken Dreams and Crashed Careers
by Stephen Blush, Paul Rachman and Tony Mann expands on the ground covered by the soon-to-be released film of the same name. What happened to the writers and creators of the songs that became top hits by other performers? Some of these folks you've never heard of yet you could sing the chorus to one of their songs right now.
Lost Rockers casts light on some of the shadier sides of the music industry.
Tony Mann planned and coordinated the standing-room-only book party in the Strand Bookstore's rare book room. The night featured a performance by Jake Holmes (who settled with Jimmy Page regarding his authorship of the song Dazed and Confused) and a q&a panel including Holmes, singer/songwriter Gloria Jones (Tainted Love, If I Were Your Woman) and the three co-authors of the book.
NEW YORK ROCK: From the Rise of the Velvet Underground to the Fall of CBGB by Steven Blush was published October 4, 2016 to full rock fanfare in bookstores across the country.

“Author, promoter and DJ Steven Blush has covered the scene for decades, and his new book New York Rock: From the Rise of the Velvet Underground to the Fall of CBGB is a comprehensive look at the city’s rock music. — AM New York

<<< August 2018 Tony Mann curated a solo show of work by artist Antony Zito at One Art Space in Tribeca.
Zito's portraits of NYC local characters illustrate a sweeping line through the legendary period after the dust settled from the 80s East Village art scene. The New York Post has called his portrait paintings “sensual” and his renderings of people on recycled materials other than canvas have prompted The Village Voice to refer to him as “a master of the found object”.
