New York 2020, short film (Englishman in New York)

New York
The city that never sleeps... but had to... covid
I am a filmer and editor, what started out as an editing trial for a new styl grew.
Masks and more
Just to test some footage i filmed in New York 2019.
I took my time since i had a lot of work.
Was to be a nice film, just about New York and had a good ending.
But then ... covid happend and i could not have the end i wanted so needed to rethink.
Found footage of Sam Hellinger, we contacted and was aloud to use some of it.
Now it became a little piece of art.
I based the music on the trumpet player in the street, started writing all the parts and the got some of the best Dutch players i know, they all said YES because John Patitucci was going to play the upright bass. I am so proud he would play this part for me.
