💃 A NOTE FROM ANGIE!
I just wanted to give you a heads up that the class will be filmed for a forthcoming documentary that has been following me and my family for several years. You may have seen their work in the Lady Gaga documentary 5’2 where they feature my daughter’s baptism! Filming that project is where we met them and they have been filming my family ever since, following us on the road with shows as well as at home here in Marine Park. The documentary should be released in 2027, but they have expressed the desire to shoot this class for inclusion in the film.
They are very low-key and non-intrusive,, one camera one sound person. If you do not want to be on camera, just let us know and you will absolutely not be included in any footage! But they are a great team and shoot in a beautifully cinematic fashion, I am so excited that they will be there to capture class in the amazing space that is Brooklyn Strength Club.
Can't wait, see you there!
