Pictured here is Eric Green and the late great Matt Nerney in 2006 visiting their seat for the first time and that seat today. 5/5

Cruising In The Van Productions @citvprod.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

Due to our currently-in-production film, we are unable to purchase a new seat at this time, but our friends at the Brattle were kind enough to give us our old seat, which is very special to what our little film production company has done since forming in 2000. 4/5

Cruising In The Van Productions @citvprod.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

This week, the Brattle began their renovation to remove their old seats and install new ones. 3/5

Cruising In The Van Productions @citvprod.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

Having a seat at the Brattle meant we were truly a part of the Boston film community and a friend to one of our favorite cinemas. Over the years, we have heard from so many people who reached out to say they were sitting in our seat in the fifth row at the Brattle! 2/5

Cruising In The Van Productions @citvprod.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

Today is a bittersweet day for Cruising In The Van Productions! In 2005, Brattle Theatre was in danger of closing, so we got involved & tried to help out. We decided to purchase a seat at this legendary movie theater, which is one of our favorites & we even mentioned in our film TO BE JOHN WOO. 1/5
