The Red Room Project NY Tour

We are taking the Red Room Project to NY!

The Red Room Project is an artist portrait and 360 VR music documentary following the evolution of Oakland-based rap artist Shane Lassiter, aka Shino Smoke who has matured in his craft after migrating from his home in Sacramento to the artist enclave of Oakland. We have had some greats events in our community celebrating the project but now we are ready to take the show on the road.

During the first week of April, Shane is taking his show on the road along with a group of young bay area talent. This trip is a chance to take the hard work these artist have been putting into their crafts to the next level in a new world.  Back in November, Shino and Adele went out to NY to present the Red Room Project to various spaces and places that loved it so much they've asked for us to bring the experience to their community.

We have arranged an awesome line up of event that includes group performance at Jump Into the light for Treble FM's Treble Tuesdays, the New School and Cococa Butter Nights. With the support of our amazing director, Adele Ray , we have also set up up housing and a number of creative collaboration opportunities for our cohort of artist we are bringing with us.

Together the three of us set all this up with no  real financial backing. Ideally artist embark on tours such as this with the support of a 3rd third party but not this time. We made this all happen out of pocket because it is important to us to get stories like these out  to the world. With this project we continue to open doors for those all have been apart of it while exposing more people to the possibilities of Virtual Reality. 

With that being said, we are asking for $4,000 to do this trip successfully. Four thousand reimburses us for housing, gives us a food and transportation budget for the group of artist we have invited out, and potentially stipends for their performances and/or creative services (i.e. cinematography). None of the venues are paying for our time and energy spent. By supporting us you are making an investment in the arts, community and the intimate relationship between hip hop and technology 

With your help The Red Room Project can support a group of deserving young artist go on their first tour.
