"BLISSVILLE...AN INVESTIGATION"

Blissville…An Investigation is a charming & fascinating docu/poem about a remote & overlooked corner of  Queens, NY.  Blissville is the former name of the town, of about 80 houses – a triangle cut off by physical barriers from the rest of the city.  In addition to the world’s largest fortune cookie factory; there is a factory with exclusive rights for making replicas of the Statue of Liberty, a sushi factory, an Afghan bakery, and a giant car crusher.

Through its dynamic mix of residents and industry, Blissville is extremely rich in nationalities, many people on the first rung of immigration.  The docu/poem is about the tapestry of daily life and the resiliency of a small town in the shadows of midtown Manhattan.  Unlike standard documentaries, Blissville…An Investigation is both uplifting & joyful as it captures this unique section of New York.
