Film Screening and Discussion: LOVE, BROOKLYN
Screenplay by
Paul Zimmerman, Adjunct Associate Professor of English
Three longtime Brooklynites navigate careers, love, loss, and friendship against the rapidly changing landscape of their beloved city. With humor and keen observation, first-time feature director Rachael Abigail Holder invites us into a world where past and present collide, mining Paul Zimmerman’s script and her charismatic cast for a layered, later-in-life coming-of-age story. The film premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival.
In addition to exploring the modern face of Brooklyn, Zimmerman’s script unpacks contemporary dynamics of sex, relationships and family. Deadline
