Ian Moubayed's documentary featured in New Yorker

When Cinema major Ian Moubayed ‘16 found himself locked out of his apartment one night, he did what most people would do - he called a locksmith.

But then he did something only an artist would do, he realized the unique access (pun intended) locksmiths have to some of the most vulnerable points in our lives. Unknowingly, he had stumbled on the subject of his next documentary “Keys to the City.” Denison Magazine featured Moubayed and his film in 2015.

The New Yorker recently profiled Moubayed and shares his documentary on its site. The article notes:

“All Brooklyn Locksmith is nestled next to a corner grocer on Flatbush Avenue, where the business has operated since 1969. It’s open for emergency service twenty-four hours a day. When he’s at the office, the owner, Tony Volpe, takes calls from customers, issuing wisecracks and dismissing requests for discounts.”
