SATURDAY IN THE PARK | Narrator Steve Buscemi guides us through Brooklyn, New York's Prospect Park

[@thelibrary8878]

That young Birder crew were great and their dialog will certainly hold me over until the next Wes Anderson movie comes out

[@arlenesolis024]

The parks of New York City are the best escape from the craziness and what keeps us together. It is our Narnia

[@rei]

Hey, Arlene! Yes, they definitely provide a special kind of reprieve from the concrete. Similarly though, we think parks everywhere (especially well-maintained ones) offer opportunity for connection and rejuvenation.

[@boatofcar3273]

Just lovely. It’s so refreshing to watch something that isn’t trying to be clever, funny, snarky, or sarcastic.

[@hannahcollins1816]

Marty seems like such a sweet soul 💖 what a wonderful caretaker

“It’s not where you live, it’s how you live” ❤ 💯

[@kurtvincent7437]

That’s it right there❤

[@Land-h7j]

This is a wonderful video, REI. From the narration, cinematography, music score, the whole thing captured me in ways that few videos of it's length do. This deserves more views and recognition, and I hope its lack of does not discourage the creators or any future similar projects. I will watch every single one

[@kurtvincent7437]

as one of the creators, thank you for saying that.

[@liamsouthall]

Well said 😊

[@guru6393]

@@kurtvincent7437 do you or your team have any other videos like this? this is A1 work.

[@Mmxxaamm]

This was a gorgeous production! Please don't stop working on films like this, they're very much appreciated 🙌

[@kurtvincent7437]

As one of the creators, thank you very much!!! Love to know people are enjoying it.

[@kaikatxi]

Probably one of my favorite videos now on KZbin... Not even a New Yorker and this soothed and touched my soul in a way I didn't know I needed! I so hope REI considers (as others have said) making this into a series featuring various parks in the U.S. :-)

[@seenew]

beautifully shot, what a wonderful video.

[@oscarvillavicencio5129]

I came for the Anthony Ferraro original tunes, I stayed for the excellent production. Cheers

[@kurtvincent7437]

[@cookinginromania]

Hey, where could i find more about Anthony Ferraro? Thanks!

[@haysfordays]

Beautiful. Music is excellent. Lived on 5th Ave/President for 13 years and had several Buscemi run-ins!!

[@rei]

Awesome! We appreciate the kudos and your fun fact!

beautifully highlights not just the magic of the park but of NYC. Such an authentic place full of authentic people.

[@gabriellachen3318]

This was such a joy to watch!

[@Jalict]

Suprised by the view count. This video is phenomenal and I felt so touched by the people, the scenes, animations, music and the spoken words. It felt very different in terms of story telling on the internet lately - intensely heartfelt and very welcoming! Everyone in the video is just so darn wholesome haha!

[@karabuller]

love how new yorky these comments are. wes anderson, john mulaney, joe pera...... i am amongst my peoople. Oh and the video was just so healing, soothing and necessary for me to watch. thank you to the creators! I'm in Bushwick, so the park is too far for me to get to. I'm half-kidding.

[@kts8900]

This is delightful.

[@jaiavm7128]

[@JonHewson825]

I loved this!!! so refreshing

[@jameskuckkan2326]

Was just here for the Fourth of July with some friends!! Absolutely beautiful, you see little scenes of American life play as you walk by. Can't recommend it enough!!

[@hipscooby2]

This was amazing ! Thank you !

[@Onetwothreefour.]

Steve! Nice work team. This was enjoyable.

[@rei]

Thanks Fran! We're so glad you enjoyed watching.

[@Onetwothreefour.]

@@rei I’ve been watching in bits an pieces as the day goes along. It’s reassuring to know we have these well spoken, educated (and funny) kids amongst our communities. Makes you feel hopeful.

[@liamsouthall]

Loved this! Excellent work.

[@ericdudley4169]

Wonderful! I grew up in Brooklyn, spending so much time in this wonderful park. Thank you very much for this beautiful and interesting video.

[@godspeeq]

[@alexgeewhizz]

this was absolutely delightful!

[@TashaC-u2n]

this is so lovely

[@DetectiveGesicht]

This was a beautiful experience- thank you.

[@nick-felix]

Incredible video! I was in that park for the entire half hour.

[@thesweetprince]

I love warblers!! Over in western Oregon-in mid spring, for a few days, several dozen feast on a tree’s berries just outside my living room window 😍

[@ranieltrasvina131]

Where can I find the soundtrack to this?

[@louannjackson9416]

Same.

[@johnschlaefflin2100]

Wes Anderson just called. Here is my new film! Get busy on the over complicated set of the main office, and que up some fantastic 70s and 80s esoteric rock!

[@milos-7712]

Woah😮

[@Luca-jx4fl]

Great video. in a kind of way, this video reminds me of the film Blue in the Face. Little ny vignettes

[@caitlinblumer5815]

Hit that thumbs up if you’re part of the Marty fan club!

[@mambojambostudio]

The birders are incredible

[@graysonpike112233]

The music is so beautiful! Is there a plan to release any of it? I've tried searching online but can't find any of these tracks.

[@Jalict]

The intro track is great, would love to the full version.

[@andrealawnyc6276]

imagine being able to stargaze in prospect park though oh boy what a different era

[@JaimeLynBeattyChannel]

I NEED to know what that opening song is. I fear it's original which means I can't listen to it on repeat :(

[@kurtvincent7437]

soundtrack release is in the works!

[@eyb0ss317]

the only thing this is missing is a John Mulaney cameo and it would be absolutely perfect

[@jred5153]

🎶 I think it was the Fourth of July…🎶

[@Ellecramfraiche]

Support your workers better REI

[@cookinginromania]

I love the music of the intro but i couldn’t find anything on the web about Anthony Ferraro. Any advice?

[@kurtvincent7437]

try Astronauts ETC. and his name. he is a special dude

[@davidmurray6387]

Elias (and all of his friends) seem to be 60 year olds trapped in the body of a kid

[@jbre7233]

HOW is there a whole group of these geriatric children there??

[@gracehallenbeck4558]

Does anyone know what the music is???

[@kurtvincent7437]

Original score by Anthony Ferraro :-) (from Astronauts ETC. and Toro Y Moi)

[@katem6178]

I think this film should include a tribute to the staff who clean up all the trash visitors generate (which early morning park users are most familiar with)

[@waterlife5708]

Nope. It’s perfect the way it is. 😊

[@DanielGabriele-h2b]

these bird watchers have only appeared en masse over the last couple years

[@munchkox69]

1 of every 4 are beetles. not 3 of every 4.

[@sbati22]

Tell the birders that there are bald eagles in the park!

[@MOZART666]

Great 😂

[@yamatejames5721]

this is Joe Pera territory

[@Tina-bo1sf]

Get a hold of Steve Zacharias. He has many scripts for you.

[@NicoTheCavapoo]

*she

[@jplourde11]

Yes, yes yes yes. Go to Prospect park. Do not go to Fort Greene Park, horrible place...

[@BigEdDunkel]

No mention of the 2 polar bears who mauled an 11-year-old boy to death at the Prospect Park Zoo?

[@waterlife5708]

Why would they mention this from 1987?
