Close To Home Genre: Experimental/Documentary
"An experimental nature short focusing on the majestic 'magic hour' of sunsets across the hidden green-spaces of the NYC landscape. Featuring three sites, which is Spring Creek Park and the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in Queens, and Shore Road in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. The inspiration derives from my personal alternation of Lyle Mays’ (a jazz pianist) piece, “Close To Home”, where the intense atmospheric tone is greatly present. My goal behind this picture is to promote the concealed exquisiteness of these chosen locations, encouraging the viewers to go visit them."
