With Harvey Weinstein in the news, it's worth remembering how he started out. He's from Queens NY and went to SUNY Buffalo. He started a concert promoting business in Buffalo called "Harvey & Corky productions". Harvey & Corky promoted the American leg of the Lamb Lies Down on Broadway tour.
I think Weinstein had something to do with the Genesis In Concert film, but I'm unclear what his involvement was. This may have been his first toe in the water in the movie making business. The film was distributed by Miramax according to Wikipedia.
Weinstein started Miramax in Buffalo in the 1970s. The name Miramax comes from his parents names (Miriam and Max).
