previous film
Feature/Featured
The Last New Yorker is about lifelong friends Lenny (Dominic Chianese) and Ruben (Dick Latessa), both in their 70s and dyed-in-the-wool New Yorkers. The New York they inhabit barely lingers beneath the modern city: their places, the ones they've frequented for years, give them a refuge from the changes they see around them. At last they are confronted with the reality that the last holdouts are a threatened species, and they are too. This film is about love and friendship, and the way these things keep us young, and make us feel alive. It's about one man at a point in his life when he is finally forced to concede that his whole life is no longer ahead of him, and he makes a last reach for one thing he's never had - true love. The film also stars Kathleen Chalfant and Josh Hamilton, and a host of renowned New York character actors.
Animated Short/Featured
A being is driven to madness by the full moon, discovering a sensitive, beautiful and deep dream world.
