After about 5 weeks of shooting, it's finally finished! This was a really fun one to make despite the seemingly endless problems. I've been wanting to do this location video for a while now. I live very close to 86th St and when I moved to NYC, the first thing I really saw was the elevated train. I remarked to my girlfriend that it looks just like the chase scene in The French Connection and she said that there are probably a million areas around the city that look like that. I looked it up and sure enough we were walking the streets that appeared in one of my all-time favorite movies. I hope you enjoy watching my crazy mug. :)

Thanks so much for your continued support and welcome new patrons!

P.S. I had all my crazy hair chopped off as soon as I finished filming.
