Alone in New York | Short Film (2018)

A disillusioned businesswoman dreams about being the only person in New York. I shot this film as a fun side project on a trip to NYC. I filmed it on a Panasonic GH4 and the people and traffic were digitally removed in Adobe After Effects and Photoshop. My friend Holly Fraser plays the main character and Ramy Daniel filmed her shots in Sydney with the assistance of Jonathon Buckland. The song is ‘Biking is Better’ by Wintergatan who were kind enough to let us use it. Please check them out at: https://www.youtube.com/user/wintergatan2000

[Music] sometimes I kind of wish everyone would just off like I would wake up and I'd be the last person on earth I don't mean to be all over should we just live in the woods man because I do love this city it's just modern life is confusing I have no idea why anything happens and I'm scared all the time if I could walk these streets alone even just for a few days not going crazy or looting malls or blowing up for anything like that just hanging out yeah that'd be enough not having the sound of

honking cars constantly ringing in my ears not having people bumping into me or harassing me just a few days of peace so by the time the light started to go out I know I would already wish for everyone to come back it's when I'm alone I want to be with people and I'm with people and want to be alone you
