The series seeks to spotlight emerging writers.

Bushwick was the center of rumors about checkpoints and arrests over the weekend, making it difficult to separate fact from fiction.

The fictional series details the intertwined lives of immigrants from around the world who have chosen to make New York their home.

Augmented reality, vagina art, high school yearbooks. Spoonbill & Sugartown has it all.

Would you work as a human breast pump? How about a professional cuddler of strangers?

In “Diverge,” a desperate husband returns from the future to his past in present-day Bushwick to fix his life.

A movie set in a Bushwick party scene centers on a killer on a rampage and the two struggling arts who try are trying to identify the murderer.

Bushwick is a hotbed of activity for film production, in part because the neighborhood’s streets offer a panoply of classic New York scenery—and the many warehouses can function as great studios

Check out the lineup for Nowadays’ Monday night film series.
