Thirty miles from New York City, tucked away in the Ramapo Mountains of New Jersey, lives a forgotten indigenous people shrouded in mystery and discrimination, fighting for acceptance as Native Americans – The Ramapough Mountain Indians.
AMERICAN NATIVE exposes this group’s efforts to gain recognition as a Native American tribe from the Federal government and the private interests that may have colluded behind the scenes to prevent them from doing so. Through expert interviews and unbridled access to the microcommunity, the film provides an indepth look at the complex past, volatile present and endangered future of the Ramapough Lenape Nation.

Interlocken is a 4-day music festival at Oak Ridge Farm in Arrington, VA. Unique to many Summer Music Festivals, but right in line with the Good Love mission, Interlocken chooses to focus on world class music, local food and sustainability. Neil Young & Crazy Horse, Furthur, Zac Brown, The String Cheese Incident, and The Black Crowes will perform. Many of the artists will be performing at Interlocken over multiple days, and will be featured in unique and exciting artist pairings - with additional artists to be announced soon. Sit ins? Might as well be guaranteed! Shapiro has teamed up with HORDE Festival founder, Dave Frey. With the pedigree of these two producers, Interlocken is set to be one of the country’s most unique and dynamic events. Frey and Shapiro’s sense for innovation and creativity together with the backdrop of this beautiful setting in the Blue Ridge Mountains is certain to make for an unforgettable weekend. Interlocken was named for traditions central to both Frey and Shapiro: The inter-locking performances presented at Wetlands and the continuous uninterrupted music featured between the two stages at HORDE. Interlocken’s conceptual theme will touch all elements of the event: “when something ends, another begins.” This simple yet powerful ethos of sustainability will be integrated into camping, lodging, food, drink, transport offerings as well as specialized onsite activities. “Most festivals these days are trying to be everything to everyone -- very eclectic with an emphasis on a large number of artists in various genres,” says Shapiro. “With Interlocken, we want to break away from that mold and create something more identifiable and distinct.” Interlocken's two main stages will feature full two-hour sets that will run seamlessly from one to the other without breaks between performances, giving the audience a unique and singular experience as the music will be continuous throughout the weekend. The emphasis will be on quality over quantity, as fewer bands will be playing longer sets and many of the featured artists will perform multiple sets on different days. Since both Frey and Shapiro have a strong history of running environmentally conscious organizations, Interlocken will be a particularly green undertaking, utilizing carbon offsetting, locally sourced food, recycling programs and many more initiatives. The festival has engaged a person closely associated with the property who is a local sustainable food provider to help Interlocken source food, beverages and services from the Central Virginia. Good Love is excited about Interlocken. This will be an EXPERIENCE, not just a party, not just a musical showcase. In a summer full of festivals trying to "do it right", all bets are on Interlocken! |
