'Jack Goes Boating' Filming March 4th, 5th and 6th in Carroll Gardens

Film crews at Guido's Funeral Home on Clinton Street, corner of Carroll Street





Philip Seymour Hoffman has been directing and acting right here in Carroll Gardens in the last few days. That news came from friend Richard in an email yesterday. I checked it out for myself, and sure enough, crews were filming at Guido's funeral home on Clinton Street.

More details in Richard's email.


Hi Katia

Thought you might like to know that the reason why all those parking spaces are being taken over on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, March 4, 5, and 6, is that the movie "Jack Goes Boating" is being filmed in our neighborhood. The movie is based on the Broadway play and will be directed by Philip Seymour Hoffman of Capote and Doubt fame; it's his first time directing.

At minimum, Carroll, President, Clinton, and Court Streets are all affected. It would be nice if someone had given residents advance warning when the City decided to take away our parking spaces for three days. (Even nicer would haven been the movie company that's being accomodated arranging parking for those who are being disaccomodated.)

Doesn't someone -- CB6 or our local precinct -- get advance notice of these disruptions? It seems to me that (in the words of another short, fair-haired actor), "What we have here is a failure to communicate."
