Street Walking

A Short Film

This is a dramedy revolving around love, podcasting, and philosophy. It’s semi-autobiographical. There’s truth in every scene. I enjoy being able to use my own life and translate it into understandable or funny ways. This is a culmination of things I’ve been passionate about for a long time. I feel very fortunate that these three things fit into a story well and that I stayed passionate about them throughout this whole process. I hope you enjoy this project and let me know what you think in the “Add a Comment” below!

This is a great picture of our main actor and star of the show, Anthony La Bianca.

This picture is a testament to his commitment. He picked up how I play with my chin/lips when I’m thinking about something really hard. Another great capture by Noah.
