Jeff Seal promoting rent control in New York City
When actor and comedian Jeff Seal said he evicted tenants for fun at a Manhattan landlords' convention in 2018, he got mention on the convention’s company website. When asked about his undercover acting, the actor and filmmaker told Quail Bell Magazine, “No one said, ‘Oh, geez, that's unethical.' Instead it was, ‘Oh great. We'd love to do business with you.’” In collaboration with co-producers Nick and Chris Libbey, filmmaker and New Yorker Jeff Seal released his latest three-episode mini docuseries, New York's Worst Landlords, on YouTube April 8th. The film catalogs comedian Jeff Seal’s attempts to interview landlords on New York City Public Advocate Jumaane D. Williams’ annual Worst Landlord Watchlist, which organizes the top repeat landlord offenders. Seal attempts to contact landlords by phone, impromptu interview, email, and eventually undercover acting. The result is a (free to watch!) chronicle of one man's efforts to get answers from New York City landlords getting away with neglectful and exploitative strategies for hundreds of properties.

She found joy in window displays and red sweaters of Rudolph with blinking battery noses and forgot about what had happened the rest of the year. The Breadcrumbs widget will appear here on the published site.

By Sara Swallow  Everyone loves Syllabus Week at the beginning of the semester. You can sit back and tip-toe back into the school environment without awakening too much stress or dealing with crazy deadlines. For most Humanities students, you know all about the required reading section on the syllabus. You'll see the list of books you have to buy/rent and know to read just enough of any title to get your participation points in during class discussions. Because let's be honest: You can't read everything—and sometimes you actually don't want to (like when you start a book you just can't stand to finish.) Sometimes the required essays, articles, and books don’t feel like an adequate use of your time but guess what? Your professors put those readings on your syllabus for a reason!
Here are some of the readings that I had on my syllabi that changed my life: |
