WETA Filming in Woodridge/Langdon on Tues. 9/17, 4:00-5:30, Chuck Brown Memorial space, 2901 20th Street NE, Langdon Park West.
Ms. Lizzie Albers wants to let you know that she and her team are going to be back filming in Woodridge next week.
The WETA crew would LOVE to interview a couple of more residents to hear about why they like living in the area! I’ll be at the Chuck Brown Memorial Park on Tuesday, 9/17 and will be interviewing folks from about 4:00-5:30.
If someone you know would be interested, please pass the word along and tell people to come on by! It’s just answering two questions and should take five minutes.
Interview Questions:
-If you lived here, what would you recommend people do/eat/see?
-What is the best part about living in this neighborhood?
Link to our WETA show for reference:

*These short interviews will be used at the very end of the Woodridge/Langdon episode over the credit roll. Feel free to look at the credits of an episode for examples. Naming specific restaurants or parks work best for our purposes because then I can get footage of that place.
We’ll be filming outside and people can look for the big camera and my WETA t-shirt. Folks can also text me if they’d like to participate: 202-277-5325.
