A tight deadline to fund and finish the documentary "Battle of Brooklyn"
Atlantic Yards Report
This blog entry focuses on the efforts of filmmakers Michael Galinsky, Suki Hawley and David Beilinson to find the funding in order to complete their documentary on the Atlantic Yards fight "Battle of Brooklyn".
Galinsky tells me, "Our goal at this point is to get the film ready for the Tribeca Film Festival. (The festival begins April 21, with final cuts due in March.)
And while Galinsky says, "I tend to favor films that are shorter--like 90 minutes--but I think this one will clock in at two hours."
Well, with 300 hours to pick from, even a two-hour documentary will have to compress a lot.
I also should point out that, while the producers presume a resolution of Atlantic Yards by December 31, I wouldn't put big money on it. Atlantic Yards is a "never say never" project.
