Over the past 2 years, I have been working on a film called Fan Directed by my buddy Nick Caccese. I believe my creits were “Director of Photography” and “Producer”.
A few months ago I found out we got into the Staten Island Film Festival. As it turns out the film is nominated for Best Screenplay, Best Actor, and Best Picture. w00t!!!!!!
So That’s where I’ll be tonight, at 9pm, at the College of Staten Island building 1P. Watching Fan. Also, tomorrow at noon. Here is a link to the schedule as a PDF.
I would have loved to added a picture of the Poster, but the website is terrible. That’s what you get when you hire Mindsaw and not NBTechnologies.
UPDATE: Gossip Girl is shooting at the St. George Theatre, both inside and out. I’ll try to get some photos later tonight.
Last night I saw this sign in front of my building.
Here is a google map of where they are shooting, come bother the Girls!!!!

You can also see my post on dog and pony show where I make some guesses as to where they are on Staten Island.
On the corner of Bay St. and Hylan Blvd live an old advertisement for Staten Island Amusements. After the building changed owners, the phone number was painted over. But the absolute beauty of the mural has remained for years and years.
Passing by and seeing it brings me to another place. A place where Staten Island has culture, a sense of community, and a really liberal idea about dancing aliens.
Today, that sign was taken down.

I really hope this doesn’t start a trend of destroying the cool shit on Staten Island.
Okay, the past week has had a number of stories about a Staten Island man who murdered a peacock. Apparently the peacock was a vampire.
