Watch: The Trailer For ‘I Think I’m Here,’ A Film We Made About Nancy Whang Of LCD Soundsystem

Two years ago, we met Nancy Whang on her roof in Brooklyn. Shortly after that, we made a film about her. That film, I Think I’m Here, directed by Mattias Evangelista and produced by Monster Children Films, premieres at The Brooklyn Film Festival this weekend.

In the meantime, though, we encourage you to watch the trailer, embedded above. It is beautiful and we are very proud.

If you aren’t familiar, Nancy Whang is a creative musical force, known best for her integral role in some of the world’s favorite bands, such as LCD Soundsystem, and The Juan Maclean. She is an extraordinarily accomplished and talented individual, and whether we are dancing in the office or singing them in the shower, we are in constant awe of her.

Despite her enormous status, she is incredibly low-key, shying away from the spotlight whenever possible (including, often, literal spotlights) in favor of time spent at home, doing nothing, hanging out with her dog, Doris, cooking dinner, and simply living.

In the creative world that we are all so lucky to be able to exist in, there is enormous pressure to be constant in your output; to be ceaselessly trekking forward into something, anything - any next thing - which makes Nancy’s almost zen approach to life so interesting to us, and so worthy of a documentary as beautiful, sentimental, studious, and easy as I Think I’m Here.

The film is premiering at The Brooklyn Film Festival this Saturday, June 1st, at 3PM NYC-time, which you can buy tickets for here.
