  Subscribe in a reader Shooting at Landi's Pork Store, an authentic Italian-American deli in Mill Basin Brooklyn, was a real pleasure! (Two words: RICE BALLS! gotta try them!) Onto more serious business... On DAY 13th of the ROB THE MOB shoot, Andy Garcia joined the crew for an early start at 6AM. Andy portrays an unshakable Boss who's tenacity and character placed himself at the pinnacle of organized crime in New York, circa 1990's. Michael Rispoli, the fierce Underboss, shares a handful of scenes with Mr. Garcia. Their interplay is masterly! A few snap shots below of the day's shoot.

Camera cranes go back to the dawn of movie-making, and were frequently used in  silent films  to enhance the epic nature of large sets and massive crowds. Our set by the Queensboro Bridge Picture car and crane Monitor: shot of bridge Monitor: shot of picture car VIDEO... enjoy! Stéphanie-
