Right of Way (2017)

Ten New Yorkers, and many of their neighbors, go about yet another day.

Malik from Queens spends an early morning shirtless in front of the camera and an afternoon suited up for a real estate job. Ray, in his Manhattan high-rise, cancels the rest of his day and follows a sudden urge to go see a Baseball game. Kenny from the Bronx is an outer-borough man by zipcode and spirit who paves his own way in the city. News producer Justine invests her every ounce of energy into her work. Jazz musician Stan wears his heart on his sleeve as he prepares for a nocturnal gig at a local club while his neighbor Jordana gravitates to the comfort and freedom of anonymity. Bookish newcomer to the city Harper adjusts to her new Brooklyn surrounding. Slavko’s a Ukranian immigrant in a foreign land. Jacob’s living is made with his ears. Even Mona, in town visiting, is quickly thrust into the diverse local crowd that changes her plans and sucks her into the strange, exciting, and unique experience that is New York.
