Hey enterprising young Etsy seller, yeah you with the knitting needles, ever wonder who lived in your precious Williamsburgville before you? Brooklyn director Marcin Ramocki takes a look at the 'Burg before your time in his new documentary Brooklyn DIY, which also covers the gentrification and condoization of what has now become a hautebed of hipsters.
Prior to a screening at MoMA, the Village Voice interviewed Ramocki, who says he "experienced the last moments of the wonderful, creative mess that Williamsburg used to be in the late '80s and '90s. That era is over, but a certain spirit of anarchistic, rude, crappy beauty continues until today." And it's all on sale now at American Apparel on North Sixth Street!

i'm surprised at the lack of williamsburg backlash on this story. i've hoped for a while that somebody would make a documentary about this subject, but this seems awful.
i'd have to see the whole thing to make a complete judgement, but this seems like will skip a lot.
Nice opening line haha. & this film looks good.
No one will say they're a hipster, kinda like when no one wanted to say they were Emo or a Scenester..
