The A Week of Kindness Show!

First Monday of the month at 9:30 PM!


The next The A Week of Kindness show is Monday, April 7th at Pianos:
158 Ludlow at Stanton (Take the J, M, Z, or F to Delancey/Essex)

Free!

For this edition of The A Week of Kindness Show, you've got a pass to Peter Jackson's Master Film Director Seminar!

Come see new bits and videos, and special performances by our special guests:

Gabe and Jenny

Nate Kushner

Matt McCarthy

Old Rich People

Chris O'Connor

Old Rich People

And now the video:

Special effects are not magic, but the magic of a film is special effects. The people who make special effects are usually off-duty sorcerers. As long as we appease them with a weekly tribute of enchanted crystal shards, they provide literal magic for our films.
However, not all of our special effects come from wizards. Some come from the real hard work of mere mortals, beings of flesh and blood who will grow old to see their dreams and loved ones die. Join us in paying tribute to the Bee Movie special effecticians.
