Today W+K NYC got dominated by the under 4 foot set. That’s right folks, today was Bring Your Kids To Work Day. And it hit like a hurricane of fun.

Painting, Legos, balloon animals, and hot dogs were on the itinerary. Thanks to everyone who made it happen, especially Ms. Sarah Park who organized the whole thing.

Ghetto Film School, the totally awesome NPO dedicated to cultivating the talents of young filmmakers in the Bronx and beyond, is doing something, unsurprisingly, totally awesome. Through the magic of the Internets and the generosity of some equally awesome filmmakers, the GFS is able to bring the young reel-heads into a virtual classroom to gain some real knowledge from a bona fide cinematic heavyweight, with their MasterClass Hangout program.

Ghetto Film School and Google+ have teamed up to introduce a new way to teach cinematic storytelling – the GFS MasterClass Hangout. Each month, a new director will host a face-to-face online discussion with young filmmakers from around the world.

Featured directors in 2012 include: Lee Daniels, Catherine Hardwicke, Ed Burns, Spike Jonze, John Singleton, David O. Russell, Tamra Davis, Peter Sollett, Paola Mendoza, Jason Reitman, Jim Jarmusch, David Robert Mitchell, and Barry Jenkins.

TONIGHT at 7pm eastern, writer/director/producer/actor/New Yorker Ed Burns will be on the mic, and anyone with a Google+ account is invited to watch the lecture. Just add Ghetto Film School to your Circles and check your Google+ Page to watch the LIVE Hangout at 7:00. You just might learn a thing or two.

Check out the most recent Hangout, lead by Spike Jonze for a peek at the action.

If you want to be a part of a future hangout, fill out the application here.

We are feeling pretty excited to host the Of a Kind Roadshow starting tomorrow in our 6th floor space. Not only will the sale feature gems from over 20 emerging designers at massive discounts, attendees are encouraged to bring donations for the Salvation Army. Come on by to support local designers and do some good too.
