In July 2009 Brooklyn Young Filmmakers will be shooting "THE WAITING ROOM" , a short narrative film. We are inviting local residents to be involved in our “Community Filmmaking”. This weekly blog column will keep you updated on our next steps, introduce you to the volunteers and students already involved, and let you know how you might get involved.

Our Community Filmmaking Project

Brooklyn Young Filmmakers and Fort Greene SNAP are organizers of the Fort Greene Information X-Change Stoop Sale Day on Saturday, June 27th, which will give small volunteer-oriented neighborhood non-profits like ours a unique way of promoting our work – while running a stoop sale to fundraise for a special project. The special project Brooklyn Young Filmmakers is fundraising for is our next Community Filmmaking Project -- "THE WAITING ROOM". At our stoop sale -- in addition to bargaining with you over our wonderful junk -- we will be screening outdoors (in a special little bubble - come check it out!) the three films we have produced and telling you about our next Community Casting & Crew Call (see more info below) .
Other participating neighborhood non-profits include Brooklyn Child & Family Services and A.R.T. New York (and a number of the arts non-profits housed in its S. Oxford facilities). Individual households in the neighborhood are also participating. For an Online Map of the FGInfoX Stoop Sales (Brooklyn Young Filmmakers will be on S. Elliott Place, between DeKalb & Lafayette):
