Tecchia Roma New York is proud to present the world premiere of ?BREATHE DEEP
NYC NO CHARGE,? a video by RICHARD P.
RUBINSTEIN.
RICHARD P. RUBINSTEIN was there with the first generation of handheld
Sony video cameras to document the event. During this time (1970-1973),
Rubinstein shuttled back and forth between New York City and the expatriate
artist colony in Ibiza, Spain. Influenced by Fred Friendly and Marshall McLuhan,
he began documenting on videotape events rarely covered by conventional media.
?I had
a strong interest in documentary still photography, particularly the Polaroid
camera?s capacity for instant gratification,? explains Rubinstein. ?When Sony
put the first ?portable? home video camera/recorder unit on the market in the
late 60?s, I was one of the first in line to buy one. The result was my focused
interest in taking television as I then knew it out of the hands of the
?establishment? and into the hands of people like myself. Prior to the Sony
unit?s availability, people could only watch television, not make it.(I do admit
to co-opting McLuhan?s description of television as the ultimate mirror of
society as the name of my first company, ?The Ultimate Mirror
Ltd.?) Rubinstein was born in 1947 in Brooklyn, New York and still lives in
NYC. Mr. Rubinstein holds an MBA from Columbia University and has had a long
successful public career as a producer of feature films and miniseries. His
producing credits include the feature films ?George A. Romero?s Dawn of the Dead?
and ?Stephen King?s Pet Sematary?,
the miniseries ?Stephen King?s The Stand?
and ?Frank Herbert?s Dune?, and
the TV movie ?The Vernon Johns Story?
starring James Earl Jones. (A complete credit list may be found at

Proceeds from sales of the limited edition DVD will be donated to
NYC-based non-profit organization, Chashama. One of Chashama?s principal
activities is matching up artists with unused space for studio or performance
use that is being made available from major NYC real estate companies.
