Just in time for this Saturday’s Bushwick Collective Block Party, TribecaFilm.com published a short documentary about the founder and curator of The Bushwick Collective, Joe Ficalora.

In Bred in Brooklyn Joe talks about growing up in Bushwick, having have to deal with his father’s murder on the corner of Starr St and Wyckoff Ave when he was an eighth grader, and eventually losing his mom to a disease as well. In a moving story, he reveals why and how he invited the street artists to the neighborhood to paint.
