Filming In Brooklyn » Internet http://filminginbrooklyn.com What's filming in your neighborhood?

From SparrowForPrez.com:

Sparrow is a poet who has run for President the last 4 election cycles. In 1996 he ran as a revolutionary communist within the structure of the Republican Party and lived to write a book about it, “Republican Like Me”. A cross between Lenny Bruce and Stephen Wright, Sparrow doesn’t really want you to vote for him but he likes having a reason to speak on your behalf.

As a country we need Sparrow. We certainly don’t want him to run anything but we need him now, just as the 1850’s needed Walt Whitman, to force us to look at our political system with a new perspective. Sparrow speaks truth to those not in power, and if enough people listen power might have to pay attention.

A six-part webisode about Sparrow was made by some friends of mine at Rumur Inc.  This guy is quite a character.  Not exactly presidential material, but definitely worth a look!

An Enlishman in New York is filming on 6th st. in Williamsburg.

Watching the Detectives (which filmed in my house a couple weeks ago) is filming in the evening on St. Marks and New York Avenues, and on Bergen near New York Ave, in Crown Heights.

Newyorkology recently caught some pictures of what just might be the Real World: Brooklyn cast out and about near Pier 41 in Red Hook.

And the internet series The Line, which we caught filming in Cobble Hill last month, has debuted online, according to Cobble Hill Blog.

First up is The Line, an internet series that will be running on Yahoo’s Butterfinger Comedy Network starting on July 21st. They were filming on Monday on Court Street, near Degraw. They’ll be filming in that general area through Friday.

The next two shoots we stumbled upon on Tuesday while trying to find Ugly Betty.

The first was a catalogue shoot for Kohls, near the Manhattan Bridge.

Next was a music video shoot for NYU, shooting just a couple hundred yards from Ugly Betty, in Empire Fulton Ferry State Park.

This tall gentleman wanted his moment, and we’re happy to give it to him:
