CL Missed Connection ScreenCap

It seems that our weekly Sunday “Disconnected in Brooklyn” feature has helped spark a creative idea with a local filmmaker who’s now making a Craigslist Missed Connections documentary. Here’s the email we received:

Inspired in part by your ‘Disconnected in Brooklyn’ feature I’ve begun a short documentary on the Missed Connections section of Craigslist…I am an experienced documentary film and television producer, earning my living producer non-fiction television for others – namely various PBS programs. This Missed Connections project is one of my independent endeavors, an art project of sorts that is financed by myself. I’ve already interviewed a number of folks with some great stories. The final piece will consist of the short interviews about the moments of ‘missed connection’ and animation that illustrates these fleeting encounters. I am looking to speak via email, and then perhaps on the phone, with those of you that have posted on Missed Connections, have been posted about, and especially those of you that have ‘connected’ on Missed Connections (be it with the one you intended or another). Interested individuals can email me with a little bit about their Missed Connections experience at mcdocumentary@gmail.com.

The filmmaker is quite legit and it sounds like she’s working on an interesting project. Any connected Missed Connections out there?
