The film was shot in Brooklyn, New York, and built around loosely connected, mostly improvised situations centered on the regulars of a local tobacco shop. Shot very quickly after a related production, it uses the same general setting and many of the same actors, allowing conversations to wander through everyday topics like smoking, relationships, baseball, and local life, with a relaxed, documentary-like energy.

Filming Locations:

Cafe at Prospect Park West and 16th Street

In Reality

The scene was filmed in a corner ground-floor space at 211 Prospect Park West in Park Slope, right at the intersection with 16th Street, overlooking the tree-lined border of Prospect Park and surrounded by classic Brooklyn brownstones and local shops.
