Summertime equals movie time at 826NYC! We are in full production mode here in our writing center and at The Brick theater in Williamsburg. The first week of this program focused on crafting scripts for the movies and this week begins principal photography.
We don't want to reveal too much, but this year's Erasers for Breakfast Film Festival may or may not be packed with presidential Cyclops, robot puppets and classic family drama. Hollywood, Bollywood, Shmollywood - This summer, Brooklyn is where great movies are born!
