The Imagine Science Films offices have relocated downtown to 33 Flatbush Avenue. The building, which from the outside is a staid and formal reminder of Brooklyn’s industrial past, is gaining a reputation for its unique group of renters and their spirit of reinvention. Artists, scientists, green architects, media designers and filmmakers fill the expansive lofts with their start-up businesses and new visions of the world. Some of our new neighbors include: Maria Aiolova and Mitchell Joachim of Terreform One, Janna Levin who is a Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Barnard College of Columbia University, and James Patten of Patten Studios.

Al Attara, owner and manager of 33 Flatbush first bought the former Metropolitan Exchange Bank 32 years ago for under $250,000. It was his vision to create an environment for artists, designers, and architects to work side by side in the 45,000-square-foot space and he has succeeded in doing just that.

ISF is very excited to join this inspiring atmosphere and is looking forward to contributing to the collaborative spirit.
