Commercial Casting Calls and Auditions

Project Synopsis: 

In New York, our journeys are our own, but our paths are shared. New York is a city of contrasts, from the high class to the low life and everything in between, a city full of authenticity whether you’re old or young, rich or poor, famous or unknown, born in NY or moved here last week. What is it like to live in this cauldron of activity?

Each of us weaves our pattern into the ever-evolving tapestry of NYC… 8.4 million journeys that charm us, inspire us and surprise us, every day. In this intersection of people, ideas and cultures, chance encounters can change your perspective and your life. This story will be told in a multimedia art and performance installation in Manhattan to celebrate the entry of a major financial institution coming into NY.
