Brooklyn and the block
One trip, every location
La Bodega puts a 1990s New York block under one roof: a deli, a Liquors store, Flat Fix, a newsstand, a pizza shop, a city bus and more, all in one soundproof room.
For a crew coming up from Brooklyn, that's one load-in for every location in the video, and the whole shoot stays on schedule.
