Meerkat Mixer this Saturday!

June 13th, 2009 by meerkat media

The time has come for another Meerkat Media Mixer! Join us, and feel free to bring some friends!

Meet, mix, mingle, and dream with friends and collaborators, old and new – and get your Saturday evening started right.

The event starts at 5pm, so get there early and then at 7pm we’ll be screening our latest short documentary, Brooklyn Boondoggle:

Exploring the highly controversial Atlantic Yards project, BROOKLYN BOONDOGGLE questions the trend of top-down urban development and asks, what if we were allowed to decide the future of our own neighborhoods?

We talked to folks who are being kicked out of their homes, business owners hoping for increased sales, young people hoping for jobs and families concerned that the development would lower their quality of life.

 

Many of the community members interviewed in the film will be there, as well as representatives from organizations involved in the ongoing conflict.

  
The space is tight & cozy, so get there early, bring some friends, and kick off your Saturday night with a drink and a dream.

Hope to see you there!
