Dinner With Wise Guys
Posted on 15. Mar, 2010 by Heather in Accents, Brooklyn
I’ve been lucky enough not only to meet a lot of characters, but to film them as well. This was a shoot where New Yorkers from Little Italy and Brooklyn got together for dinner and talked about their accents. But as filming went on, they started telling all these amazing stories about growing up in New York in the ’60s: the scams they ran, girls they dated and being stuck with a nerdy young thing named Martin Scorsese tagging along on their adventures. I turned it into a short film I call “Dinner With Wise Guys.”
Great films, I like them a lot. And you know what? Those characters all seem to be really nice people! Real New Yorkers… :-)
Hi,
I would like to publish your press realease on your NY accents film. Please forward.
Thanks,
Peter
