 
    What's the deal with all those empty lots in East Flatbush? CUP Teaching Artist Douglas Paulson and students from the BCCP's afterschool program  at Walt Whitman Middle School looked deep into the emptiness and  investigated hidden uses, ownership patterns, and alternate futures for  the lots right near their school. They interviewed a community  development consultant, an affordable housing advocate, a real estate  expert, and asked property owners some tough questions to uncover the  surprisingly full lives of empty lots.
 
 The world premiere of "The Good, The Bad, & The Empty" was on Tuesday, June 1, at Anthology Film Archives. The screening was followed by a panel discussion with empty lot experts moderated by  the documentary crew.
