Last summer we produced a short film about our first mermaid subject, The Brooklyn Babydoll. We were lucky enough to have this film premiere at Coney Island Museum as part of the 2008 Coney Island Film Festival. It was a rainy day but that didn’t stop us from showing up full of mermaid pride. The Brooklyn Babydoll, herself made sure we arrived in style in a white stretch limo all the way from Bensonhurst! The film screened along with a great selection of New York inspired short films with subjects ranging from birds to baseball to carneys and virgins, couldn’t have asked for better company!
