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 work of art. Gives warning to an oncoming storm...that yet has no answers."
-Alan Ng, Film Threat

“A wondrous short…propulsive…expansive and ultimately quite memorable.”
-Stephen Saito, Moveable Fest (tinyurl.com/yymctftd)

“A gorgeously mastered cinematic statement.”
-Les Roka, The Utah Review (tinyurl.com/y6cet3oh)
