Introducing a short film created from wandering the streets all over New York City. This piece was shot entirely on 16mm motion-picture film using a Bolex H16 Rex-5, converted to Super 16.

The project moves from day to night, weaving together moments from three boroughs, uptown, downtown, and everything in-between. It highlights New York’s classic architecture, its evolving skyline, and the everyday rhythm of people moving through the city. Street photography, urban grit, and quiet cinematic moments all live side by side here.

If you stick around until the end, I share a few thoughts on my process of how I choose music and why it plays such an essential role in my non-narrative filmmaking. One track can shift the emotion of a scene, shape the pacing, and turn real moments into something that feels timeless.
