RADIOMAN TO PREMIERE AT HOT DOCS

Years back, in 'Vinnie Vidi Vici-Part A', I posted an article about 'Radioman' because I had seen another article in which Vincent was asked who his favorite person in New York was...the answer...Radioman.  Craig, his real name, was a homeless man that strolled the streets of NYC wearing a radio around his neck, as seen in the photo below.  He has posed for many photos with celebrities and became a celebrity himself for his uniqueness and opinionated nature.  That lead to as many as 100 appearances in films and TV shows but now the former homeless man will get to star as himself in an upcoming documentary that will have its world premiere at the end of the month in Canada.  Good Luck!

TEN CENT ADVENTURES

Radioman, directed by Mary Kerr and produced by Ten Cent Adventures, will hold its World Premiere at the Hot Docs Int’l Documentary Festival in Toronto, Canada on April 30th. The film will then have its European Premiere at the world famous Krakow Int’l Film Festival, May 28-June 3.
