Nice....
Where in NYC you're shooting?

 

[Craig W. Bickerstaff]

is it set in the 80s or is it done in the style of an 80s comedy.

 

[Matt Garrett]

from the looks of that jean jacket it's set in the 80's.
Might want to replace that dry erase board with a chalkboard

 

[XiaoSu Han]

Yeah it's more or less a comedy with a lot of references to the 80s instead of a proper period film because of the limitations of budget, so we unfortunately can't be very accurate.

We're shooting in two schools in Manhattan and another week of exteriors around Red Hook ballfields and Brooklyn Heights.

What are the two schools in Manhattan?

I am curious because I attended Manhattan private schools in the 80s ... and I have the Duran Duran t-shirts to prove it.

Just kidding about the Duran Duran t-shirts ... Perhaps Power Station. :smilewinkgrin:

Hey Peter,

we're shooting at Chelsea Vocational and The Fashion High School, but I think that both are public schools as far as I know
