New York-based production company Residency Content has teamed up with agency EP+Co to help launch ‘Back The Bodega’, a trio of short films that pay tribute to the many ways in which bodegas serve the local NY community. A collaboration with three local production companies and directors, the initiative spotlights the cultural importance of the 14,000 bodegas that populate New York’s streets and serve communities - and offers all creatives involved the chance to give back to this essential part of the city’s neighbourhoods. Working pro bono, Residency produced and provided creative oversight for one of the three films, entitled ‘The Match’. A lighthearted feel-good film geared towards first-generation Americans, it was directed by Chinese-American director and Brooklyn resident Waley Wang, whose award-winning work highlights the ever-elusive and uncultivated experiences of being Asian American as well as a young millennial.
