Redford funds Filmmaker Kurt Vincent '06

Kurt Vincent ‘06 and his co-director Irene Kim Chin are about to embark on filming “A Park in Brooklyn,” a nature film about human nature. “A Park In Brooklyn” is a meditative portrait of one of America’s greatest city parks, Prospect Park in Brooklyn, New York. Through the intimate stories of people whose daily lives intersect with the Park, the film illuminates how diversity makes an ecosystem stronger and healthier.
