In the summer of 2015, Chad Kahn and Eric Benoit pursued an independent film project sponsored by the Film and Media Culture Department. While they were living and working in New York City, they produced an experimental documentary to explore the city as an aesthetic space. The documentary uses an avant-garde audiovisual design to take the viewer on a tour of Manhattan, rendered and expressed through the filmmakers' subjective personal experience. They are excited to present their work and represent the film department at the 2016 Spring Student Symposium.
