Notes

In the Summer of 2017, More Art presented a series of free film screenings in parks and venues across New York City accompanied by a live, original score commissioned specifically for NYsferatu performed by both local and international musicians.

The world premiere of the film took place on August 14, 2017 along the Hudson River at Pier 63 and was marked by musical improvisation by The Dick Valentine Vampyre Jamboree, featuring Dick Valentine of Electric Six and James Wells and Quinn English of The Gay Blades.
Mastrovito himself participated in the final track, a cover of “The Night of the Vampire” by Roky Erickson, singing a duet with Dick Valentine.
