“HoldOut” – A short documentary about Atlantic Yards holdouts
Not Another F*cking Blog!
This blog entry offers commentary on the latest Atlantic Yards documentary, Hold Out.
After trudging through every nook and cranny of the footprint, taking tens of thousands of photos, trying to capture what it was, what it is now, and what it’s becoming, I recognize nearly every location and person in this visually stunning short. A small part of my home even makes an appearance. It’s not factually perfect, per Norman Oder on his Atlantic Yards Report, but I feel that it does put a much needed human face on those directly in the path of the developer Forest City Ratner’s wrecking ball.
My only regret is that it was so short. I hope this team has a longer Atlantic Yards project in the works.
