2008
Spike Lee's 40 Acres and a Mule Filmworks moves its headquarters to South Elliott Place
In 2008, 40 Acres and a Mule Filmworks, the production company Spike Lee and Monty Ross founded in 1979, left DeKalb Avenue, where it had been based since the mid-1980s. Rapidly rising rent drove the departure. The company relocated its operations to a building around the corner on South Elliott Place, keeping its headquarters in Fort Greene. The company has produced every one of Lee's films.
“In 2008, the company moved its operations from DeKalb Avenue, where it had been since the mid-1980s, due to skyrocketing rent.”
