We are proud to present our newest workshop project, produced in the July 2014 MediaStorm Storytelling Workshop. From July 14 to 18, 2014 a team of filmmakers, writers and photographers converged in Brooklyn to tell the story of Coney Island through the eyes of Coney Island Jay. During the workshop, participants worked directly with MediaStorm staff to create an intimate, character-driven documentary in just one week.

Jay Singer has been in love with one Brooklyn neighborhood his entire life. He grew up there, pined for it when he was forced to leave and returned when he couldn’t stand to be away one more day. His life’s work is an unfinished 1200 page book about the place. He currently gives three-hour tours explaining its history.

Through Jay’s vast historical knowledge, we learn about what makes this iconic neighborhood so special, and how that past may impact its future.
