ellington, we're in the category of working with the community.ow do you envision designing bayview -- i'm sorry. how do you envision designating bayview as a cultural district benefiting or hurting business? >> let's start by setting the context of what this community means to african-americans. given the amount of displacement and pressure that the neighborhood has felt, it's unfortunate that many folks that i've grown up with, many family members, many of the community members, have been forced out of this district. what we're starting to see is a resurgence. we're starting to see folks come together and stand up for the neighborhood that they deserve. and one of the examples that i like to bring up is the organizations that are bringing the businesses back to 3rd street. we have five brand-new businesses coming back to the 3rd street corridor. of the five new businesses coming back. four are african-american. four live in 94124. and that's because there was a collective effort of folks that recognize the cultural significance of bayview. four

but another 20 years, we're going to produce our duke ellingtons, our own mary beardons, our james baldwinspeople of that stature in film. (jim jarmusch) for us in new york at the time, in the late seventies, it was an idea kind of related to the music scene at the time, which was that we are not virtuoso filmmakers, but we have something we'd like to express. and that desire to express it was more important than having a more professional attitude, or having a lot of experience. (jim jarmusch) when i started thinking about "stranger than paradise," there were severe limitations as far as how much money i could get to make a film like that. (jim stark) "stranger than paradise" cash cost was $160,000, and it grossed many times more than that. jim's pacing was very slow and deliberate. there was a kind of irony in how he approached the world, which was not typical of filmmaking. there's a meandering approach that lets you decide what you thought was important about the story. the style of the movie and the sensibility of it were clearly emanated from the personality of jim jarmusch but also h
