Brooklyn’s Film Night Rolls in Red Hook

Red Hook screened last night with Brooklyn’s Film Night, framing NYC’s spring at a pier shed. Curator Jay Patel rolled *The Warriors* as 200 watched, a $10 ticket dive into reels. It’s borough frames—pure BK vibe, screens hot. A kid gaped at gangs; a pro quoted lines. ‘Brooklyn films—this is it,’ Patel says, dimming lights. The shed turned cinema.

The night’s fresh—March 28’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing seats by 7 p.m. Patel’s a Gowanus cinephile; last night’s crowd hit max—projectors hummed. A latecomer nabbed a row; popcorn crunched—NYC grit glowed. Runs one night—stories ruled. #BKFilm trended; Queens wants a reel.

Some griped—’Too loud,’ sniped a newbie, dodging sound. Sound buzzed—fixed quick; tales held. A rival’s pitching a Williamsburg screen, splitting frames. Still, 300 stayed—reels reigned. Red Hook’s never rolled so bold.

Patel’s teasing a monthly run, maybe a Q&A if spring bites. ‘NYC’s lens—this frames it,’ he says, packing reels. The night’s a Brooklyn win—grit meets art. It’s a film rush; catch the next. Bring a seat—takes call.
