The logo man bobble head is just one of the many fabulous prizes at the PUMP (www.pump.org) trivia night.

Chris Ivey is an film maker who works on documentarys around the world, but calls Pittsburgh home.  Chris has been working on capturing the story of East Liberty for a few years now.  I was luck enough to catch a glimpse of some of the raw footage a year or so ago when Chris happened to bring his laptop into the Shadow Lounge.  There has been a lot of talk about East Liberty lately, especially with the new development there.  East of Liberty is a look at the stories of East Liberty and the neighbors that don’t often make the news.

Chapter 2 “The Fear of US” is a follow up to the first documentary that opened last year.  Part 1 has recieved much attention and was screened in London in May of 2007.

Watch the tailer for East of Liberty Part 2 here.
