NYC is ALIVE again ✨

A Quiet Place Part III just closed Manhattan streets for what producers are calling the LARGEST feature film production since the 90s.

Full breakdown:
✓ Manhattan Bridge shutdown (YES, the WHOLE bridge)
✓ Hundreds of extras mobilized
✓ Pyrotechnics rigs
✓ Harks back to Mayor Lindsay era filming
✓ Arri 35mm cameras = REAL CINEMA

This is what film-friendly NYC policy looks like when it WORKS.

Shoutout to AD Mamdani (trained on his mother's film sets — the lineage is REAL) and 's team for getting this done.

As a lifelong producer, seeing practical filmmaking at this scale in 2026? That moment when an Arri 35mm came into frame and my heart SKIPPED?

That's the whole reason we do this 🎞️

Emily Blunt. Cillian Murphy. Millicent Simmonds.
Coming July 30, 2027.

Be ready. 👑

This post will highlight Viola Davis speaking out about how Black actors are expected to show extraordinary range just to be considered for traditionally white roles—yet are constantly boxed into only “Black roles.” The same holds true for many racialized communities who face similar barriers.

So much talent has been quietly turned away by casting directors because of race. And many Americans don’t realize how much Canadian media influences what they see on their screens.

You hear lines like, “Do you have any others?” or “We’re going in a different direction,” even when the actor is more than capable.

Really? In a busy downtown NYC scene, anyone could be walking by—and yet that "anyone" rarely includes "them".

Canada needs to do better. All of us do.
