Ian Moubayed’s film follows a retiring tradesman as he hands off knowledge to his younger colleague—a metaphor for the way that New York City, and the people in it, evolve with time. Watch here.
Anyone who has locked themself out of a car or building knows the panicky feeling of vulnerability that sets in when the door you took for granted will no longer open. The director and cinematographer Ian Moubayed found himself in that exact situation several years ago, when he got locked out of his New York City apartment in the middle of the night.
All Brooklyn Locksmith is nestled next to a corner grocer on Flatbush Avenue, where the business has operated since 1969. It’s open for emergency service twenty-four hours a day. When he’s at the office, the owner, Tony Volpe, takes calls from customers, issuing wisecracks and dismissing requests for discounts.When Moubayed met Volpe and his head locksmith, Matthew Ballard, who had been in the business for forty-seven years, Ballard was due to retire in a little more than a month.
George Goga, originally from the country of Georgia, moved to the United States at the age of fourteen, and grew up in the neighborhood of Brighton Beach. He talks with Ballard about how he views the job: as a means to keep himself out of the kind of trouble he got into in his youth, and as an opportunity to learn how to run a small business so that he can one day get his own and support a family.

Struggles continue for thousands in Florida 8 months after Hurricane Ian as new storm season loomsEight months ago, chef Michael Cellura had a restaurant job and had just moved into a fancy new camper home on Fort Myers Beach. Now, after Hurricane Ian swept all that away, he lives in his older Infiniti sedan with a 15-year-old long-haired chihuahua named Ginger. Like hundreds of others, Cellura was left homeless after the Category 5 hurricane blasted the barrier island last September with ferocious winds and storm surge as high as 15 feet (4 meters). And again like many, he’s struggled to navigate insurance payouts, federal and state assistance bureaucracy, obtaining building permits, and simply finding a place to shower.
