First Public Presentation by the developer

Battle of Brooklyn via Kickstarter

Here's the latest clip posted by filmmakers Michael Galinsky, Suki Hawley and David Beilinson, who are raising funds via Kickstarter for their Atlantic Yards documentary, Battle of Brooklyn. Click on the link to travel back in time to March, 2004, when the Park Slope Civic Council hosted the first public presentation of the Atlantic Yards project and Frank Gehry's arena-and-high-rise designs. Remember Frank Gehry?

This is a scene that probably won't make it in the film. After 6 years and 300+ hours of footage there just isn't room for everything. This was a scene that we liked a lot because the constant laughter at fanciful claims by architects is pretty telling about how information was flowing....if one was even paying attention.

We would love to make this a 5 part series as well as a film so that we can get to all of the important information. More "deleted" scenes to come.
