Fantastic Mr. Brooklyn
Good article, Eric [Kohn] (“The Films That Ate Brooklyn,” Dec. 9-15). I need to read it again, but I don’t think it mentioned Quiet City. I think most of that movie takes place in Brooklyn (maybe the original version of this article did and maybe it got edited out). Also next year, look out for Brooklyn Fantastic, a comedy that I partially shot in Spring ’09 (rest of it to be filmed in Spring ’10). Pretty much, [it’s] a straightforward celebration of Brooklyn and making art/movies here and living here. Also, the new wave of “creative immigrants” (artists who move to Brooklyn) who are paying their own way are ending up in Bed-Stuy or, like myself, in Sunset Park (very nice neighborhood, still cheap, great park nearby).
