Behind the scenes still from the Blade campaign shot in our Stage A by Dynamo Films a month or so ago. They built a number of small sets around the stage, and used different color seamless paper for around six or seven different print/video ads. Great use of our space! (We’ll get a longer version of this on our blog soon you can see the results.) @flyblade @johnjaxheimer @hotnewroommate @lebeaunyc #flyblade #campaign #lebeaunyc #yoga #setlife #behindthescenes #soundstage #moviestudio #soundstagebrooklyn #soundstagenyc #brooklynfireproof #brooklynfireproofstages #seamless #fisherdolly #grip #gaffer #adcampaign #newyorkfilm #advertising #brooklyn #bushwick #eastwilliamsburg #moviestudionewyork #photostudio #filmstudio #nycfilm #nycproduction #videoproduction #videoproductionnyc #photostudiobrooklyn https://www.instagram.com/p/BxkrkmNA2O-/?igshid=4lmcfn7v1wjl

Director Alistair Banks Griffin’s “The Wolf Hour,” starring Naomi Watts, premiered at this year’s Sundance fest. The film shot large swaths in our Stages A and B in late 2017. We’ve been eager to see the film, and we’ll let you guys know about screening or streaming news. The director did an piece with Filmmaker Magazine, where he stated: “To me the objective of almost any director is to hide the artifice, to erase the pencil lines and the strings that hold it all up. What you see on screen is only the tiny tip of the iceberg. The crew that pulled these things together on The Wolf Hour is the hidden pride. Since they have done their job so brilliantly nothing jumps out at you, from the lighting down to the weight of a bag of groceries. There are so many unsung heroes who moved mountains to make some tiny detail pop off just in the nick of time. I think for The Wolf Hour this is most pronounced in the sets, props and dec, perhaps more than the average film. Almost every inch of the film was a construct down to the tiny dents in the wall paster, the rust on the door peephole—even the buildings outside.” @sundanceorg @naomiwatts #thewolfhour #naomiwatts #alistairbanksgriffin #sundance #sundancefilmfestival #sundancefilmfestival2019 #wolfhour #featurefilm #movie #setlife #brooklynfireproof#brooklynfireproof #brooklynfireproofstages #filmfestival #brooklyln #filmmaking #soundstage #newyorkmovie #moviestudio #nycstage #brooklynsoundstage #newyorkfilm #nycfilmmaker #production #productioncompany #newyork #newyorkmedia #bushwick #newyorkfilmstage #brooklynfilmmaking https://www.instagram.com/p/BxLQhVsgQqS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=og456zlj2dl1

Last summer, we welcomed our friends Troma to Brooklyn Fire Proof to shoot elements of director/founder Lloyd Kaufman’s latest opus, “Shakespeare’s Shitstorm.” They shot a great deal of the film’s exteriors in our back alley/backlot, including a wild protest scene. They also used our Studios 1, 2, and 3 for some set builds, and to take advantage of the NY QPF tax incentive. Troma is an underground NYC film institution, but they generally can’t afford to shoot in NYC! Brooklyn Fire Proof got involved in this project to help get Troma back to NYC, and BFP’s Kenneth Filmer and Thomas Burr Dodd became co-executive producers of this sure-to-be-interesting film. Troma is doing some focus group screenings of the film now, and it should officially launch soon and we’ll definitely let you know. Brooklyn Fire Proof was honored to work with Troma, and we should remind everyone that we are more than happy to work with any production at any budget level, and besides our QPF soundstages, we have a vast array of interesting industrial locations available for features, TV shows, commericals, music videos, photo shoots, or anything else. Email us at [email protected] or call us at 718-456-7571 to set up a scout or to discuss availability and rates. @lloydkaufman @tromateam @tromavillecitizen @tromaarmy @dylanmarsgreenberg @amanda_flowersss @badtechno #brooklynfireproof #brooklynfireproofstages #filmfestival #brooklyln #queens #museumofthemovingimage #filmmaking #soundstage #newyorkmovie #moviestudio #nycstage #brooklynsoundstage #newyorkfilm #nycfilmmaker #production #productioncompany #newyork #newyorkmedia #bushwick #newyorkfilmstage #brooklynfilmmaking #troma #tromaville #tromaentertainment #toxicavenger #shakespearesshitstorm #lloydkaufman #michaelherz #onlocation #behindthescenes https://www.instagram.com/p/BwaC-FWAYo4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ix9wtd8uuzn6

Say what you will about our stage vs. other stages, but you can bet that we’re the only NYC soundstage with a black cat in a bowtie in their office. Not only do we work with productions of all sizes, from student films to major motion pictures, we have A KITTY WITH BOWTIE. This is Jupiter, sometimes called Jupie, in his finest finery. When you come here shoot or scout, please stop by and pet him. #onlynewyorkstagewithakittywithabowtie #kittywithabowtie #jupiterthecat #nycsfanciestcat #moviestudio #brooklynfireproof #fancycatsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BwSeUcrAM0Z/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hit74md619dj

Brooklyn Fire Proof was a proud sponsor of the Queens World Film Festival, which just celebrated its 9th anniversary. This year, we provided a prize package of a day of stage space in our Seltzer Rooms along with a grip and electric kit to the festival’s Special Jury Prize winners. We’re pleased to congratulate Jean Goto and Adam Lim, pictured above. Queens World Film Festival Executive Director Katha Cato states: “As we close out the 9th Annual Queens World Film Festival we are so happy to partner with Brooklyn Fire Proof Stages in providing this prize package to Jean and Adam. We have worked with Patrick Chen, their producing partner for several years and we know that this is a worthy team indeed. A huge thank you to BFPS for making this possible. Here’s to year 10!” Winner Jean Goto adds: ‘Adam and I are thrilled to have won the Brooklyn Fire Proof Stages Special Jury prize— having our film screen with Queens World Film Festival was such a pleasure and this is truly the cherry on the top! By giving us time on a soundstage, we’ve been encouraged to create more films and inspired to not wait, but do it now. I’m so excited to see what comes from this partnership and so grateful to Katha and Don for their belief in us!” Brooklyn Fire Proof is a big believer in working with New York’s entire film community, and we enjoy doing our part to develop up-and-coming talent. Thanks to Queens World’s Katha and Don, and we look forward to seeing Jean and Adam at our stages. @queensworldfilmfest @adamjlim @jeanmiyoshigoto @patmander @navajoproductions @movingimagenyc @hawkfinn1 #brooklynfireproof #brooklynfireproofstages #queensworld #queensworldfilmfestival #filmfestival #sponsorship #filmfestivalsponsor #brooklyln #queens #museumofthemovingimage #momi #productionpackage #filmmaking #soundstage #newyorkmovie #moviestudio #festivalwinner #nycstage #brooklynsoundstage #newyorkfilm #nycfilmmaker #production #productioncompany #newyork #newyorkmedia #bushwick #newyorkfilmstage #brooklynfilmmaking #queensfilm #queensworldfilm https://www.instagram.com/p/BwSA97cAFaj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qbdjs4mea7kh

NEXT FRIDAY, April 12, 730pm, is our screening celebrating the launch of Brooklyn Fire Proof Classroom, and showing the films made by the students. THE SCREENING IS FREE. The Millennium Film Workshop, who pioneered independent film workshops over 50 years ago, were brought in to provide teachers, and Job Path, an NYC organization focused on assisting those with developmental disabilities lead independent lives, was brought in to provide students. The class focused on new media/cell phone filmmaking. The program was created by Brooklyn Fire Proof Stage Director Kenneth Filmer. Brooklyn Fire Proof plans to host more workshops of this nature, bringing a variety of interesting educating organizations into our workspaces and studios to teach filmmaking to a variety of individuals, including many who might not otherwise be in a film program. Please join us! @jobpathnyc @mfw1966 @millennium_film_journal @hijacknow @bardenmuse @moniiqwa @small6923 #brooklynfireproof #brooklynfireproofstages #jobpathnyc #millenniumfilmworkshop #filmmaking #filmmakingworkshop #classroom #brooklynfireproofclassroom #disabilityarts #moviestudio #artcollective #brooklyn #bushwick #eastwilliamsburg #artistslofts #independentfilmmaking #iphonecinema #experimentalfilm #newmedia #cellphonefilmmaking #newyorkstage #soundstagebrooklyn #newyorkproductioncompany #filmschool #indiefilmschool #undergroundfilm #brooklynart #screening #disabilityadvocacy #newyorkfree https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv4VRZOA5q4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10oevgvnhhw4a

Back in 2012, Spank Rock shot his video for “Car Song,” featuring Santigold in our Stage A. The video was directed by Luis Gispert. We just came across this making of for the video, which is informative and a great snapshot of what our stages looked like in 2012. We have some great behind the scenes photos of our own which we can share soon ourselves. We’ve had thousands of music videos by notable artists, who dig our relaxed, artistic environment. Contact us if you’d like to shoot your video here. @naeemjuwan @santigold @luis_gispert #spankrock #carsong #santigold #luisgispert #brooklynfireproofstages #brooklynfireproof #musicvideos #nycfilm #brooklynsoundstage #newyorkart #newyorkstage #nycsoundstage #brooklynart #brooklynfilm #brooklynfilmmaking #bushwick #williamsburg #brooklyn #bfp #newyorkcinema #brooklynstage #gripandelectric #setlife #musicvideo #musicvideoproduction #behindthescenes #makingof #music #musicvideoshoot #bushwickbrooklyn https://www.instagram.com/p/BvfJVuqA5bo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5wvfg7r44ryp

“Films of Brooklyn Fire Proof Classroom,” in association with Millennium Film Workshop and Job Path A brand new screening at Brooklyn Fire Proof’s Seltzer Room Studios, 102 Ingraham St., Brooklyn, NY 11237 Friday, April 12, 2019, 730pm FREE - Seating will be available for approximately 160 people and will be first-come, first-served. Brooklyn Fire Proof, the creative complex of movie studios, artists’ workspaces, and art galleries located in Bushwick is pleased to announce a new initiative launched in early 2019: Brooklyn Fire Proof Classroom. The first step of the program aims to bring filmmaking education and skills to members of the New York community with no previous filmmaking education, while utilizing a simple, and universal tool: the cell phone. The Classroom initiative has come together thanks to key organizations that BFP has worked with over the past decade, bringing together the Millennium Film Workshop and Job Path as partners this inaugural session. Together they’ve launched a “new media” filmmaking class, with an emphasis on cell phone filmmaking, utilizing avant- garde techniques.

Here’s a great, old shot from Isabella Rossellini’s “Green Porno” shot on in our Nut Roaster Stages - Stages A and B. The show was shown on Sundance TV and was followed by “Seduce Me,” also shot here at Brooklyn Fire Proof. Just one of thousands of stellar projects shot at Brooklyn Fire Proof. @isabellarossellini @sundancetv #sundance #isabellarossellini #greenporno #seduceme #brooklynfireproof #sundancetv #brooklynfireproofstages #cyc #cyclorama #newyorkfilm #soundstage #moviestudio #moviestudios #brooklyn #bushwick https://www.instagram.com/p/BuCUK4GgYaN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hubxf855mle2

The amazing Kim Gordon, in a still from our friend Marcel Dzama’s film “Une Danse des Bouffons (A Jester’s Dance).” Marcel and his team shot this here at Brooklyn Fire Proof, in our Seltzer Room Studios and Nut Roaster Stages. It was commissioned by the Toronto International Film Festival, and premiered there as a tribute to David Cronenberg. Music was done by members of Arcade Fire. Brooklyn Fire Proof screened the film publicly as part of its 2016 Summer Screening Series. It’s a great piece. @marceldzama @kimletgordon @davidzwirner @arcadefire @tiff_net @natepommer #unedansedesbouffons #ajestersdance #marceldzama #kimgordon #arcadefire #davidcronenberg #tiff #davidzwirner #brooklynfireproof #newyorkmoviestudio #brooklynsoundstage #bushwick #newyorkfilmproduction #filmnewyork #moviestudio #soundstage #production #film #art https://www.instagram.com/p/BuJ5-rzgq_3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=74m1sq7ubgru

In 2017, we were thrilled to have Raekwon and PURE in our Seltzer Room greenscreen Studio 2, for the official “M&N” video. The video was directed by The Chain Gang (Erick Sasso + Brian Wendelken). Brooklyn Fire Proof’s production arm co-produced this one, with Director of Stages, Production and Programming Kenneth Filmer and Founder/CEO Thomas Burr Dodd serving as co-executive producers. We shot some great behind-the-scenes photos during the shoot, and we’ll share more of those in the future. This is a nice one of the key creatives in our Seltzer Room halls. @sasso @bgwmedia @thechaingang.tv @raekwon #raekwon #pure #musicvideo #wutang #wutangclan #brooklynfireproof #brooklynfireproofstages #moviestudio #moviestudios #newyorkstages #brooklynsoundstage #bushwick #brooklyn #production #televisionproduction #tv #filmmaking #seltzerrooms #greenscreen #chaingang #thechaingang #hiphop #musicvideoproduction #nyc #rapmusic #nycstage #brooklynstudio #brooklynstage #productionstudio #cyclorama https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu-M3C9lJNx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ajkpuq4j9ybj

Our good friends from “Forged in Fire” shot their first 5 seasons here at Brooklyn Fire Proof, in our Stages A and B. They essentially took over the stages for a couple of years here. It was a fun, albeit messy, experience. Pictured are a couple of those ballistic skeletons they used for sword tests. #forgedinfire #forgedinfire🔥 #skeleton #historychannel #brooklynfireproof #brooklynfireproofstages #moviestudio #moviestudios #newyorkstages #brooklynsoundstage #bushwick #brooklyn #production #televisionproduction #blacksmith #blacksmithing #sword #swordmaking #nutroaster #tv #filmmaking @forgedinfire @whiskey2whiskey @history @bakerblades @dougmarcaida @jneilsonknives https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu7F1xYFl-R/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ebzzpxycte8j
