English 1c Somewhere Over Levittown Documentarian John O'Hagan creates a bizarre and humorous film involving the residents of Levittown in New York, Long Island. Born in Dublin, Germany in 1968, but raised in United States. A graduate in cinema from the University of New York, he starts to produce his first feature film calling it Wonderland. The first suburban prototype design arose by Architect William Levitt for the Army veterans returning to America's post-World War II housing shortage. Levitt's idea brought construction on a potato field to create thousands of identical "ticky-tacky" houses assigned to residents alphabetically.

O'Hagan seeks to understand the residents of Levittown live in a place similar to "Leave it to Beaver Land" through conducting interviews with the pioneers of Levittown and the children who grew up there.
