It’s not the big one we were promised. But it’s a start.
As previously mentioned, IndieScreen, a new movie theater at 285 Kent Avenue (at S 2nd Street) in Williamsburg (on the same block as Glasslands), is expected to open for business officially by the end of June. Before then, the theater will be hosting films for the Brooklyn International Film Festival which runs until June 13th. Check out the schedule at their site. Tonight, Monday June 7th, you can see THE “FLESH CHAPTER 1, ANGLE OF TRAJECTORY”, “DISPOSABLE”, and “HIGGS, INTO THE HEART OF IMAGINATION”. Trailers for all three of those below.
The theater will also be screening films as part of Northside Festival, happening June 24-27.
The 12-rows, 93-seat theater (which has a 17-feet by 8-feet screen) will be accompanied by a restaurant and a full bar, AND will be hosting live music. Their website is still under construction, but there’s more info about what they have there and how you can host an event there if you click around enough.
I know I just posted about this, but I wanted to let everyone know that Mystery Team has just been extended at the Quad Cinema until next Thursday, Dec. 17th. Also, DERRICK COMEDY will be at all evening shows this weekend for Q&A and all that jazz.
Since I’m creating a separate post here, I thought I’d take this opportunity to share another version of the trailer with you, and a picture of a donkey:
So I just saw the movie Mystery Team and all I have to say is, GO SEE IT. It was hilarious. The whole theatre was cracking up nonstop. I seriously haven’t heard an audience laugh like that since I saw 2012!
Mystery Team was made by DERRICK COMEDY and stars 3 of it’s members: Dominic Dierkes, Donald Glover (of NBC’s Community), and DC Pierson. DERRICK made this movie from start to finish, submitted it to Sundance, and now it’s being released nationally. (I am equal parts inspired/jealous by this.)
Here is the trailer:
The film is playing at Quad Cinema tonight and tomorrow ONLY at 1:00, 4:00, 7:00, and 9:30. GO WITH YOUR FWENDS, FWENDS!
P.S. If you aren’t in NYC, go to Mystery Team’s website and help get the film to your city. It’s easy.
Am I incredibly lame for already planning to walk home from seeing this movie – with a cigarette in my hand – feeling lucky for living here in New York Citayyyy, where anything can happen, working to turn my dreams into a reality?
I know the answer to this rhetorical question. But if anyone wants to come, Imma see this shit this weekend:
