About the Film:
Ben has been single for a long time. For his part, he is a loner but as well a romantic: he enjoys the solitude of his simple being but appreciates intelligent and witty company just the same. By yielding to both extremes, Ben remains caught between reason and arousal.
Isabel has been married for a year. The passion that had once carried her 5-year relationship has lost its pulse. Passive, protective, and without poise, it now threatens to claim hers. Waiting in abeyance, Isabel is lost between loyalty and loneliness.
Uptown is where they come together.
About the production:
In September of 2008, we began production on our feature length film, Uptown, a romantic tale with a realistic edge. The film was shot in 9 days in NYC and some parts of New Jersey. Favorite locations among the crew included areas within Central Park, the Upper West Side, and Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Production was designed to move swiftly by use of multi-camera set-ups.
An enthusiastic and committed cast and crew came out to support the project. The two leads, in fact, offered more than their talents to the production. they offered their apartments to shoot in!
