What's this about and where are they filming?

Based on Tim McLoughlin's novel Heart of the Old Country, THE NARROWS is the story of Mike, a 19 year old Brooklyn boy who is torn between two worlds. When Mike's photography portfolio wins him a partial scholarship to NYU, he must figure out how to balance his tight knit Italian neighborhood roots in Bay Ridge with the opportunity to emerge into the expansive, sophisticated world on the other side of the East River. His job at a local car service doesn't earn him enough to make up for the rest of tuition. His father, a retired sanitation worker on disability, refuses to support Mike's attempts for financial aid out of pride. Mike ultimately takes a job making deliveries for Tony, the local mob boss, to make up the gap.

Mike not only has to balance work with his academic assignments, he has to manage his personal relationships as well. This includes his attraction to a cool, intellectual young woman he meets at NYU with his responsibility to his long term, girlfriend from the neighborhood he's promised to marry. The stakes grow higher as he faces consequential choices in turning his back on all he knows and pursuing a new life. This compelling coming-of-age story combines suspense, murder and loyalty. The Narrows takes a guided tour of the ethnic enclaves of South Brooklyn, where the hangers-on, those left behind in the white flight to the suburbs, continue to "do business" while defending their shrinking borders.

they are filming interior shots in the building next to mine in Astoria, right now.

Hmm, looks like Astoria apartment buildings are a popular site for this movie - they are filming in mine right now. They converted a Greek men's club next door into a cafe called "Lou's." Looks like stereotypical mobster type stuff to me, what with the names of the gangsters listed here "Fat tony" "jimmy the chin" or whatever. I just hope it doesn't suck, because I love Vincent D'Onofrio. Now, let's see if I can scam a turkey sandwich off of the catering cart. My disguise is a Guns N Roses tee, aviator sunglasses and some random wires draped over my shoulders. Free lunch, here I come!
