EMPIRE STATE OF CHESS - Documentary on Chess in NYC During COVID
The game of chess has been bringing New Yorkers together for years in parks, squares, cozy clubs and tournament halls. But how can this beloved pastime survive amid a pandemic? Meet the city’s most interesting pawn pushers, grandmasters, club owners and street players who keep the hope, and the game, alive.
This past year, as a The New School Documentary Studies student, I was given the opportunity to make a short documentary on any topic in New York City. After The Queen's Gambit was released on Netflix last Fall, my brother and I started researching #chess in New York City.
