Flying Over Brooklyn

About This Movie

Flying Over Brooklyn has this unique introspective vibe, especially considering it was created during the quarantine. The atmosphere feels both surreal and grounded, capturing that sense of isolation many artists faced. It’s not your standard narrative; it's more about the visual poetry of the city and the artist's reflection on it. Ernie’s approach showcases a blend of real footage and perhaps some practical effects that give it a raw, authentic feel. The pacing is contemplative, allowing you to soak in the imagery and really think about the themes of art, solitude, and the urban experience during a time of crisis. It stands out in a sea of quick edits and flashy productions. A real gem for those who appreciate artists’ personal journeys through their work.

Flying Over Brooklyn is a relatively scarce piece given its short run and specific commission for the Madison Square Park Conservancy. Collectors may find interest not just in the work itself but in its context; it captures a moment in time where artists had to adapt and respond creatively to the pandemic. The film's limited release means it could be a notable entry for those who follow New York's contemporary art scene, especially considering the unique perspective it offers compared to more mainstream works from the same era.
