The Brooklyn Arts Hotel was in downtown Fitzroy, Melbourne, and while rather a well-kept secret, it hosted over 25,000 guests during its 15 years of operation.This heart-warming and inspiring documentary is an intimate portrait of Maggie Fooke, the creator of the hotel, as she navigates the final days of this dearly-loved institution, before its closure due to financial constraints. TO THANK THE ROOM is about living life to the fullest and facing major life-transition. Maggie leads a merry dance as she both embraces and resists the process of letting go, with a fierce determination to relish and share her beloved ‘Brooklyn’ to the very last drop.A film by Belinda Lloyd (her directorial debut) in collaboration with Maggie Fooke and Larry Lawson, and recently awarded Best Melbourne Documentary 2024 at the Melbourne Documentary Film Festival.
