Filmmaker Anthony Scarpa has been working on a documentary of Betty Blowtorch for the past two years, traveling extensively with the band and compiling hundreds of hours of footage. After the tragic death of the band's lead singer, Bianca, he has decided -- along with Bianca's parents and the people at Foodchain Records (Betty's label) -- that nothing short of a full length feature film would do justice to Bianca and the band.

Scarpa is looking for footage or photos of the band (i.e., live shows you may have video taped or collected, interviews from cable shows, news stories about the band or about the accident that took Bianca from us, anything related to Betty, Butt Trumpet, etc.) Whatever you can dig up would be of great help, in addition to helping preserve Bianca's legacy and perhaps turning others onto the band.

You can email Scarpa directly at bettyblowtorchfilm@yahoo.com (tell him NY Rock sent you) or send him correspondence (i.e., video, photos, etc.) via regular mail to:

Twelve Rakes Films
PO Box 93144
Los Angeles CA 90093

You can also email Jade at Foodchain Records at jade@foodchainrecords.com and send regular mail to:

Foodchain Records
Attn: Jade
8490 Sunset Boulevard
Suite 504
West Hollywood, CA 90069

They will dupe tapes, copy photos, etc. at no cost to you so you can just email whatever you've got and they'll take it from there.
