Old Open
Battle of Brooklyn via Kickstarter
We have been editing pretty much full time for over a year- and for the previous five years we logged tapes- and did minor editing. It's hard to put together a story when you don't have the end.
The following is one version of the opening of the film that we put together. When working on a film, one of the things you have do often is "kill your darlings." One has to be able to take out some of the best scenes if they don't serve the larger goal of telling the best overall story. My partner Suki just pointed out that one way to deal with doing this is to avoid looking back. It's difficult to let things go - but it's nice to be able to share them in this way.
Click through to see the discarded opening sequence — a pretty compelling opening, we might add.
NoLandGrab: Do you want to be the one to secure the $25,000 matching grant for "Battle of Brooklyn?" They're just $156 dollars short of the triggering threshold with a little more than five hours to go.
