Neighborhood
The lives of three strangers—a pigeon keeper, a webcam model, and a man haunted by ghosts—intertwine mysteriously amidst the backdrop of a rapidly gentrifying Bushwick.
“A wondrous short…propulsive…expansive and ultimately quite memorable.”
“A gorgeously mastered cinematic statement.”
“A work of art. Gives warning to an oncoming storm...that yet has no answers.”
