Andy Warhol's Factory People: Inside the Sixties Silver Factory

"Andy Warhol's FACTORY PEOPLE", tells the story of the 60's Silver Factory that Andy founded in 1964 in an abandoned hat factory on East 47th Street in New York City. The Silver Factory lasted until 1968 when Andy gave up the lease and moved to the White Factory on Union Square. Shortly after moving in the Spring of '68 Andy was shot by Valerie Solanas and this event bookends the period of time covered in "Factory People". The idea of the film is to tell the real story of the culture, who was there with Andy, who participated in the work with Andy, and what really happened during this period... all without passing judgement on Andy, his work, his friends, and the people who were there at the time. The film takes and in-depth look at the lives and times of the people who hung out with Andy and "worked" at the Silver Factory during the Sixties, making it all click as a new counter-culture arose and began to exert it's influence throughout the arts.
