The woman in the film is living a monotonous life and gets frustrated with the chaotic nature of New York City. In response to the constant ambulance sirens, cabs honking and trucking engines roaring, the woman breaks and needs to make a change in her life. She decides to get out of the city to catch her breath and pause to enjoy the beautiful natural world around her.
Lina Gamerman, the creator and director, does enjoy both the mayhem and excitement of New York City. She routinely practices yoga and mediation and her favorite thing to do is to travel around the world and experience new cultures and cuisines.
The inspiration for this film came from a trip upstate to go hiking. Personally, the lack of nature in city can get to me, so I often get out of the city to recharge and get away from the pandemonium of the city. While on the mountain, I really felt the juxtaposition between the silence of nature and the intensity and noisiness of New York City. Therefore, I wanted to create a character that has experience with exaggerated circumstances.
Filmed on an iPhone 7 and edited on iMovie. Music by Matthew Wang and Portugal The Man.
