New York City Rhapsody | Adorama


Here's a wonderful movie titled New York Rhapsody that will make every New Yorker (and others who love this city) feel emotional and forgive it all of its sins. As Roger Cohen of the New York Times wrote in an equally beautiful Op-Ed; "Come Back , New York, All Is Forgiven".

The film, all shot in New York City, features a single day snapshot of the lives of three individual creatives. A wedding photographer, a filmmaker, and a musician show us the city and their craft through their eyes.

Sal D'Alia, Content Producer at Adorama, tells us he wanted to make a love letter to the city, and  that would also show the hustle and the passion of every artist in this city. His original plan was to shoot every day for one year, and then make a portrait of what happens in the city. He wanted to focus the story on creatives who pour their dreams into this city and try to make a living with their passion.
