In New York City people are constantly moving between physical and emotional public and private states. Urban life facilities an intense juxtaposition between these states and exploring how New Yorkers cope with this reality and their unique experiences navigating between these states interests us. Everyone is fighting for certain states over another to hopefully create their own peace of mind and boundaries within the chaos. Do they ever reach this state, and if so, how and why will be explored among a myriad of New York characters.
At one moment your personal space is violated by an aggressive guy handing out flyers to suddenly being on a subway car that is filled with people where everyone is hyper-aware of their personal space. These are the kinds of experiences we want to explore.
Our process will include interviews and intimate conversations about defining and acting within the aforementioned spaces. Through our podcast, we want to be able to get a conversation about personal behavior within spaces widely accepted as ‘public’ flowing.
