WNYC’s own award-winning radio host and producer, who's also Emmy Award-winning film editor, Sara Fishko, makes her film directorial debut with "The Jazz Loft According to W. Eugene Smith." The film is an outgrowth of the award-winning 10-part "Jazz Loft Radio Series" series that Fishko produced and hosted for WNYC in 2009. During 1957-1965, Smith's loft apartment, located in the flower district of New York City, became known as the epicenter for all types of players of the New York jazz scene.
