  • We Say Goodbye to Sean Clifford

    Sean Clifford close up (Clarence Eckerson Jr.)

    Today we wish one of our own the greatest of luck as Sean Clifford departs StreetFilms in pursuit of the lights, glamour and (gulp!) gridlock of Los Angeles to pursue a film career. Sean produced quite a few videos for us here, especially notable is this video on Grand Army Plaza which may one day serve as a historical document chronicling when neighbors stood up to demand changes to make it safer. This year the NYC DOT is doing just that. Hooray for everybody!

    This leaves us down one videoperson. Very shortly we will be posting our job opening for what we are calling a Transportation Activist Video Guru. If you know plenty about film and transportation activism, we urge you to apply. So check back shortly on how to do that (until then please no e-mails or questions regarding the position, we will not be answering them.)
