Get the Ball Rolling
It’s time to get the ball rolling.
Why are we making a documentary about flophouses in New York City?
3 reasons:
1) Every person has a story. But not every person has someone to tell their story. At the flophouses, there are a lot of strong old men who have seen so much in their years. We want to hear their stories, we want to know their daily life and we want to absorb their wisdom.
2) We feel that flophouses are going extinct. In twenty years, this part of New York City’s infrastucture may have completely disappeared. We want to capture it before it vanishes, in the most rudimentary sense of the word, we want to document the passing of the flop.
3) We are hungry to make our first feature length documentary film. We are young filmmakers. We have made numerous short films, we have a strong creative and journalistic background, and we want to use it.
