Final Project Pitch

For my final project, I was considering covering a relatively new “green roof” rooftop farm that I recently discovered in my neighborhood. It is located in Greenpoint, Brooklyn on top of a now vacant warehouse and is owned by Broadway Stages, a film and theatre production company that has recently committed to renewable energy by creating the world’s first solar powered sound stages and launching projects such as Eagle Street Rooftop Farm. The rooftop also offers farm based education in an effort to spread the concept of rooftop farming and sustainability.
On their website, they claim to be open to commercial photography and film shoots, so I don’t think getting access would be an issue. I have reached out to them and am waiting for a response.
Another potential person I could interview is one of my former teachers, Aimee Hill. She has participated in various urban farming programs and worked with the Philadelphia Seed Exchange, which preserves seeds and aims to preserve biodiversity in general. I’m not sure if she is still involved, but if I manage to get in contact with her, I’m sure she can give me a lot of great insight on the whole urban/rooftop farming and sustainability trends.
