Documentary director Paul Crowder, who is represented by Nonfiction Unlimited for commercials and new media projects, is premiering his latest film THE LAST PLAY AT SHEA at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival.
Paul Crowder‘s documentary interweaves the history of the recently lost New York City Landmark, Shea Stadium, with the career of Long Island native Billy Joel, whose personal connection to the stadium made him the perfect choice to close the curtain on Shea’s impressive past. The film combines historical footage as well as personal interviews with Joel to provide and intimate look at the intersecting histories of a stadium, a team, and a music legend. Paul’s musical background made him the perfect director to document the stadium that hosted everything from The Beatles’ first-ever arena performance in 1965 until Billy Joel’s concert before its demolition in 2009.
Nonfiction Unlimited (Formerly Nonfiction Spots) New York/ Santa Monica represents award winning documentary filmmakers for commercials and new media advertising projects. In addition to Paul Crowder the company works with R.J. Cutler, Rob Devor, Sean Dunne, Steve James, Nick Jasenovec, Barbara Kopple, Albert Maysles, Stacy Peralta, Peyton Wilson and Jessica Yu.
