There’s no shortage of movies and music using Bushwick in their titles to evoke a very specific place and time. The most prominent example is “Bushwick” a feature-length film featuring Dave Bautista that recently screened at Cannes, but another project with more humble beginnings just launched an Indiegogo campaign.

At its core writer/director Henry Jinings whose most recent project premiered at Slamdance says “‘Welcome to Bushwick’ is a short, dark comedy about the folly of first dates inspired by the fear of encountering the unfamiliar and unknown, taking inspiration from what stirs up those feelings inside all of us.”

Jinings tells Bushwick Daily he had “been living [in Bushwick] at the time of conceiving the story.” And let’s be honest, what better setting for a first date horror story than this neighborhood?
