Studio with a View (2022) is a short film chronicling the first two years of the Covid-19 pandemic from the perspective of an apartment window in New York City’s Chinatown. The film captures life as it unfolds on the city block below, home to a police precinct and located in a neighborhood stigmatized during the pandemic. Conceived as a visual poem, the film evokes themes both small and large, above all human resilience in the face of large-scale crisis.
Directed by Mara Wollong, music by Jason Yang.
