Congratulations, Filmmakers!
Posted on August 25, 2008
Last week, over 200 film enthusiasts filed into BAM Rose Cinemas to watch the world premieres of 826NYC's latest productions, Man for the Job, Children of the Iron Monkey, 2168: Modified, Knock the Hustle: The New Movement, Me, the People, Stop the Madness: The Collection, Monsters and Angels, and Kid Named Carrot. This year's Erasers for Breakfast was an enormous success, treating viewers to their fair share of celebrity sightings (including the complete casts of Kid Named Carrot and Man for the Job!).
We'd like to extend enormous congratulations to all of the writers, filmmakers, editors, directors, gaffers, guests, grips, producers, and parents who worked with us all summer to create eight amazing, original films (within 4-6 weeks!). Also, special thanks to BAM for generously hosting our 2nd annual screening. We look forward to seeing everyone again, next year!

Pac-Man Looks Like a Cookie: An 826NYC Bake Sale
Posted on May 25, 2008
Please join us for an old-fashioned bake sale: Pac-Man Looks Like a Cookie! All proceeds from the sale will go directly toward purchasing new chairs for the writing center. New chairs will support projects like the creation of "The Encyclopedia of Imaginary Disorders and Oddities," the writing of short stories about an alien named Paul, the editing of essays about wrestling, the figuring-out of lyrics for songs to be sung by a jellyfish band, and the crafting of collages that tell tales of celebrities arriving at startling moments of truth.
