HOOD

Chemistry was shot sort of entirely in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Spring was unintentionally filmed walking through Bicycle Fetish Day, held at the City Reliquary on Havemeyer (cityreliquary.org), a stellar place to get your history on.

Xander’s movie was shot at the track at McCarren Park and the nearby McCarren Pool, which does great summer concerts (some for free, some for not so free – www.thepoolparties.com).

The final scene was shot at Bushwick Country Club on Grand Street. We’re regulars and love their special members only drinks.www.bushwickcountryclub.com

Takka Takka performed at Union Hall in Park Slope. A great bar complete with bocce ball courts so you can channel your inner old Italian man.

CREW

Our Director of Photography was Johnny North. Sound was by Clint Higgins, and Thom Woodley (reluctantly). Our editor was Ana Veselic. Thom, Ana, and Eric Dow also shot a bit.
