Over the past decade, Hooligan has collaborated with some of the top film luminaries on critically acclaimed documentaries, pilots, and feature films.
“The Surge at Mount Sinai”
Streaming exclusively on discovery+, The Surge at Mount Sinai is a feature-length documentary chronicling the harrowing experiences of medical workers at Mount Sinai Health System, who fought in the trenches as the novel coronavirus overwhelmed New York City. Edited by Kane Platt and directed by Jonny Kapps via creative studio Convicts, the film offers a rare and intimate window into the care and treatment of critical COVID-19 patients and the personal hardships experienced amidst the greatest public health crisis of our generation.
“The End of the Century”
Heralded by Rolling Stone as “the best music documentary of its time,” the film follows three decades of recording, touring, and antics by America’s first and most notorious punk band, the Ramones. The film was edited by John Gramaglia and directed by Michael Gramaglia and Jim Fields. It took five years to shoot and edit the epic film, which premiered at CBGB’s, the notorious NYC music club.
“L.I.E.” and “12 and Holding”
The coming-of-age films “L.I.E” and “12 and Holding,” edited by Hooligan’s founding partners Kane Platt and Eric Carlson, were both directed by Michael Cuesta. The films offer a real and poignant look at the moment between childhood and adolescence when unguarded emotions and fantasies still rule, but adulthood experiences beckon.
“Roadie”
In this Michael Cuesta-directed film, a middle-aged man embarks on a search for his identity. Edited by Kane Platt, “Roadie” is a refreshingly bittersweet film that follows Jimmy, a veteran guitar tech who is fired after 26 years of touring with the band Blue Oyster Cult. Returning to his childhood home in Forest Hills, Queens, he struggles to let go of the past and realizes he has more to fear than the Reaper itself.
“A Thousand Thoughts”
Alejandro Delgado edited the trailer for “A Thousand Thoughts,” a multimedia musical film directed by Sam Green. The film features unique classical and jazz arrangements performed and recorded live on stage by the Kronos Quartet.
“Prince Harming”
Written and directed by Marianne Hettinger, “Prince Harming” marks Peter Mostert’s debut as a feature film editor. Based on a true story, the film deals with the escalation of domestic abuse, and one woman's journey of overcoming it. During an intense three-month editing schedule, Peter had the unique opportunity to showcase a new dimension of his narrative capabilities, from serious subject matter to dark comedy.
Each film has had its own unique journey, crafted by our talented creative teams, and we look forward to our next project that’s currently in development. “Art and Industry” is an episodic series showcasing the work that corporations are doing with artist residencies in communities around the country.
