The abandoned Kentucky Fried Chicken on the corner of Bushwick and Myrtle Avenue, a.k.a. 666 Bushwick Ave., is now the fast food joint of any on-the-fly filmmaker's dreams, thanks to an anonymous artist collective who "greenscreen bombed" its drive-thru. By painting its menu and drive-in window chroma green, the artists have enabled anyone with a camera and some basic editing software to shoot the next lo-fi fried food cult classic. Think: Goodburger, but on a Clerks budget."Any and every passerby on-foot or in-car can now create their own truly customized fast food drive-thru experience," the artists, who wish to remain anonymous, tell The Creators Project. They continue, "Greenscreen is a video production technique that creates infinite possibilities in digital space. This abandoned KFC at 666 Bushwick Ave. is now a functional public greenscreen (with the infused history of a two-tiered drive-thru format), so that—instead of renting studio time or blowing money on a personal studio—video producers now have this free option for a limited time. Our intention is to open up space in our environment the same way greenscreen opens space digitally."This could open the door for the next "And then?"
