  • From Casey Neistat to Greta Gerwig, 368 Broadway launched the careers of many of NYC's most successful filmmakers. This summer, I researched the story behind the storied building.
    My conclusion? One day, at some overpriced liberal arts college, students will take a class called: "The Diane Fink School of Filmmaking." Mark my words.

    Absolutely fantastic video. Watching this, I saw a pile of loose threads bound together into a tightly-wound rope - several people and places I vaguely knew were associated, but didn’t quite know how, until now. In nine minutes, you gave unifying context to media, content, and creators I’ve enjoyed for more than a decade, and then extended that story back to century-old origins. Incredible work.
