The work of the filmmaker, born 1957 in the United States and author Buddy Giovinazzo is as narrow as important to the history of American underground cinema. Growing up in Staten Iceland, then one of the most run-down district of New York, where his first two feature films are located, began Giovinazzo mid-70s to shoot Super 8 movies. Together with his brother Rick, who later wrote the music for his films, gründtete Giovinazzo a punk band, resorted to first appearances at the legendary CBGBs, but on the rotation of videos for other bands. In the early 80s followed short films as Lobotomy and The Christmas Album , 1986, came out Combat Shock, a valid study to date on urban and mental decay. This theme is also found in the later works No Way Home (1996) and Life Is Hot in Crack Town (2009) again, poverty, addiction, crime, broken families and violence are everywhere. The film features a radically pessimistic to find and the attitude of courage, candid photos for an existence beyond the Existenzminimus.
Life is hot sweat in the Films of Buddy Giovinazzo, the characters, they are under pressure, just before exploding. The apartments are no safe havens, but buggy mud holes from which they fled rather in the ruined streets, in families, there is no security, but stress and contempt that society is so remote as the moon. The cities look like in the war destroyed and eaten by mold as the power is in the hands of pimps and drug dealers, keep all the threads of the underground economy in their hands. There is no Solidarity between the characters, each fighting and dying for their own. Buddy Giovinazzo: "I was always interested in the issues of poverty and violence, I really do not know why. I think it's the people that fall through the social grid, follow me. Their stories touch me, are so much more moving than the more or less normal, we make every day on the road. "
