Expertly crafted by writer/director Jordan Ross, searing crime drama Thumper explores the cycle of drugs and violence that too commonly affects communities across the country.
Last night rag & bone partnered with the Tribeca Film Festival on the world premiere of Hair, a โrag & bone Filmsโ production directed by John Turturro. The premiere, which took place at Regal Battery Park Cinemas, was followed by an intimate dinner at Locanda Verde in New York City co-hosted by Vanity Fair.
Tell me about this collaboration with Rag & Bone and how it came about.
John Turturro: ย I did a photo shoot for them, and I liked their clothes, and Bobby likes their clothes. They showed me the little film they made with Baryshnikov and Lil Buck, which I loved. They asked me to do something for them. We threw around a lot of ideas, and we did something about hair. I think that hair goes with clothes well, and I got to do it with my friend Bobby, and you’ll see.
Was it fun to improv this project?
John Turturro: We kind of had a little bit of an idea of what to do, and we improvised off of that. I kind of just was the straight man and tried to keep Bobby on course.
Congratulations on teaming up with Tribeca. Tell me a little bit about how this collaboration came about?
Marcus Wainwright: It was sort of an accident. We’ve been huge fans of John’s and asked him if he wanted to make a film for us. That’s what we asked, and we just said we’d supply the clothes, so this is what happened.
Speak about collaborating with John.
Marcus Wainwright: It was pretty amazing. I come as a huge fan. He’s a true original, so it was very flattering that he’d even consider doing it. It was an amazing experience, pretty good.
As a fashion creative, how does film inspire you?
Marcus Wainwright: I mean, how does it not inspire you?
Future collaborations for film and Rag & Bone?
Marcus Wainwright: Yeah, happening. I don’t know what they’re going to be, but we’re working on it.

Virtual reality made a big splash at this yearโs Tribeca Film Festival. While visiting the festivalโs Virtual Arcade in late April, I had the chance to play the drums with gummy hamburgers, ride a dragon, watch a short film, and even fly by a planet. However, the most excitement occurred when I realized that I was standing in a room full of people who were all exploring the possibilities of a new piece of technology that could (quite literally) revolutionize our world.
It is difficult to explain VR without using tried and true phrases such as โimmersiveโ or โengagingโ, but thatโs exactly what Virtual Reality is. Though still in itโs infancy, Virtual Reality transports itโs users to interactive and often colorful environments that offer everything from entertainment, retail, and or educational opportunities. For filmmakers this could mean creating a new world to tell a story in, and allowing people to explore and experience them first-hand. Can you imagine what it would be like to experience a film like James Cameronโs โAvatarโ, or J. J. Abramsโ โCloverfieldโ in a VR?
While VR is all about heightened storytelling, the true opportunities presented by VR reach far beyond the world of film. VR offers a fresh canvas for any brand from just about any industry with the desire to reach customers in new and exciting ways. Once more and more creatives gain experience with the format, weโre going to see much more incredible work made for the platform. The only challenge VR is facing is whether customers are willing to take on the steep cost for admission. That being said, if the current sales of Samsung Gear VR are any indication, this might not be a problem.
