As read by Ken Siegelman at the 2008 Brooklyn Book Festival, a poem by Brooklyn third grader Zander Toulouse, of blessed memory. A poem by Zander Toulouse, 2007 Nobody's like me
SEE BELOW BROOKLYN EAGLE REVIEW OF: May 7, 2008 was the world premiere of “Fading to Zero,” the Hollywood film based on Ken Siegelman’s life and poetry. Introduced at the event at Kingsborough Community College by Marty Markowitz, who read a poem he had worked on “all day” dedicated to the poet, It was 77 minutes of one of the most interesting Brooklyn characters ever, and his words, which were read by famous actors including Billy Drago, Kristana Loken and Michelle Rodriguez. “Fading to Zero” was more of a documentary than a movie, and featured clips of Brooklyn personalities who referred to Siegelman “as a genius, whose words inspire everyone from school children to older adults. The film was directed by Silvana Gallardo, an actress and acting coach to such stars as Keanu Reeves and Angelina Jolie. It was produced by John Gavigan. After the movie, a reception was held, and most of the audience stayed to wish Siegelman all the best. “Did you enjoy the movie?” he asked aspiring poet Andrew Greissman. “Most definitely,” replied the 17-year-old Greissman, who attended the movie with his grandparents. It was an awe-inspiring cinematic experience, mostly due to the Poet Laureate’s own words, and a must-see for lovers of Brooklyn, poetry, or just plain old life. This movie should become recommended viewing for all high school students.” Click on You Tube…search for Fading to Zero to see video clips of the premiere. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=fading+to+zero&search_type=&aq=f © Brooklyn Daily Eagle 2008 Check out the work of some of Brooklyn's most inspiring poets . .
