Bushwick and East Williamsburg have played a supporting role to many local film and television productions recently. Just this summer, “Mozart in the Jungle,” “Homeland,” “The Deuce,!” “Gotham” and many other shows have made use of local scenery. And before the fall gets under way, there’s even more: Comedy Central will film a pilot for Chioke Nassor’s Storytime this Tuesday, September 13.
Storytime first debuted in 2013 as a web series on the website Above Average. Celebrated alumni of the production include Saturday Night Live’s Sasheer Zamata, Eric Andre (of The Eric Andre Show), Chris Gethard (of The Chris Gethard Show), and Maria Bamford, aka Netflix’s “Lady Dynamite.”
Production sources were unable to share details about which actors would appear in the Bushwick scene; it could be one of the greats, or other talent still on the way up, so either way, keep your eyes peeled if you pass the location tomorrow.
