Monday's parting shot

Film crews were out today along Avenue A and various side streets. 

Posted notices stated this was for a film production called "Funny Strange." A few residents did some sleuthing and learned that this is A24's adaptation of the Holly Brickley novel "Deep Cuts.

Per Deadline:
Set in the 2000s, "Deep Cuts" is a love story about two music-obsessed twentysomethings navigating the messy realities of ambition, belonging and adulthood over the course of an era-defining decade.
Cailee Spaeny and Drew Starkey are the leads (taking over for Saoirse Ronan and Austin Butler, who were previously attached to the project). 

Thanks to EVG reader Samuel Levine for the photo this evening from Second Street at Avenue A.

Thanks for reporting what the filming was as I saw all the film crews and trucks yesterday as they were filming in the Italian restaurant Supper on East 2nd Street. The notices on the street said Funny Strange but I know the film production companies usually never list the real name of the movie.

They were filming on West 110th yesterday and today. I appreciate the detail on what the film is about.
