The Award-winning documentary Out of Exile - the Photography of Fred Stein is the tale of a man caught up in one of history's darkest moments. The Nazi menace thrust Fred Stein into a life of exile: in 1930s Paris; across the war-torn French countryside; and in 1940s New York. Always full of belief in the human spirit, his answer was to create thousands of brilliant photographs, an art that transcends bigotry.
Cinematographer Peter Stein is the son of photographer Fred Stein. Peter's career in film spans over three decades and includes some of the most well known cult movies of the late 1980s and early 1990s including Pet Sematary, C.H.U.D., Friday the 13th Part 2, The Parent Trap and Necessary Roughness among many others. Peter currently teaches cinematography in the graduate film program at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts and is an esteemed member of the American Society of Cinematographers (ASC).
Jeff Brouws is a self-taught artist. Pursuing photography since age 13, where he roamed the railroad and industrial corridors of the South Bay Peninsula, Brouws has compiled a visual survey of America's evolving rural, urban and suburban cultural landscapes. Using single photographs as subtle narrative and compiling typologies to index the nation's character, he revels in the "readymades" found in many of these environments. Influenced by the New Topographic Movement, the artist books of Ed Ruscha (to whom Brouws paid homage with his Twentysix Abandoned Gasoline Stations project in 1992) as well as the writings of cultural geographers like J.B. Jackson, Dolores Hayden and John Stilgoe, Brouws has combined anthropological inquiry and a bleak aesthetic beauty mining the overlooked, the obsolete, the mundane.
