The Company
77 Films tells slice-of-life stories rooted in the communities that make New York City extraordinary — its people, its streets, its evolving neighborhoods.
From the pioneering LGBTQ documentary Life on Christopher St. to the multi-part anthology Out in Manhattan, the work has earned critical acclaim, festival recognition, and placements with MTV and Channel Thirteen.
The latest project, Coney Island Then and Now, continues the tradition: bearing witness to a community at a crossroads, capturing history before it disappears.
Produced by Kimberly Gray
Directed by Maria Clara
