Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
NYC has approximately 6,000 miles of streets; at average walking pace, that's roughly 2,000 hours of footage no one asked for.
The film quietly critiques 'completion culture'—Mateo's grid is technically conquerable, unlike the human connections he keeps missing.
