No Man’s Land: A Story by Karen Lillis from Karen Lillis on Vimeo.

Karen, who wrote and produced the above piece of spoken word, writes:

Dear Miss Heather,

I’m really enjoying your thorough coverage of the Greenpoint Hotel!

I’m a former resident of Greenpoint (1996-2004) and I wanted to let you know about a new video short-story I just posted, “No Man’s Land,”
wherein I shot images of industrial Pittsburgh to stand in for industrial Greenpoint. If you get a chance to check it out, I hope you enjoy!

Enjoy it I did— thanks for forwarding this to me! You can learn more about Ms. Lillis and her work by checking out her Myspace page .

I did not get the name of the magnificent beast (which hails from Chrystie Street). Neither he nor his keepers seemed very interested in talking to me. No worries, this 20+ pounder was busy keeping a vigilant watch over his domain!
