RAILROADNYC is the story of a high-turnover railroad apartment in Manhattan, taking place from 1989 to the early nineties.
It follows successive waves of tenants and their lives, from the first and only lease-signer to the last squatter tenant who is physically removed. The tale is told in vignettes as the personnel rotate in and out; a short-tempered, indifferent building superintendent oversees the revolving door living situation. The backdrop is the last days of an analog world, and the dynamics of the apartment change with each new arrival and departure: people on their way up, people on their way down, or just people on their way through the transient existence of New York City.
This short film depicts a scene that occurs somewhere in the middle of the story.
