Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Pre-9/11 NYC indie cinema captured a specific urban paranoia that feels almost nostalgic now—everyone's disconnected but geographically crushed together.

Trivia

Director Julian West also plays Leonard, the guy who loses the gun at a poker game—casting himself as the first domino.
