What begins as a day of awkward waiting slowly evolves into a tender, unexpected connection. Filmed guerrilla-style over just two days in New York City, the duo dive into their micro-budget approach, from dodging boom mics to being kicked out of grocery stores and bribing strangers for silence.They talk about channeling their creative malaise into storytelling, how shooting scrappy helped shape their distinct cinematic voice, and how their real-life friendship brought honesty to the screen.
