The film was shot on the streets of New York City, which match the tense, intimate focus of the film on a loser photographer trying to erase painful memories and connect with people. Locations include everyday sidewalks, intersections, and a real arthouse cinema, using recognizable neighborhoods to keep the drama grounded and contrast personal anxiety with constant public movement.

Filming Locations:

Hell's Kitchen Park

In the Movie

Scene where he walks past the park and its distinctive sign during a street scene that highlights his restless, distracted state; production notes mention the image was flipped so the text reads right-to-left in the final shot.

The scene was filmed at Hell's Kitchen Park, a small public park near 10th Avenue in Midtown West. It is located among residential skyscrapers and busy traffic, with park signs and paths making it a clearly recognizable corner of the neighborhood in Manhattan, USA.

450 West 37th Street

In the Movie

Scene where he moves through this stretch of street as part of the film's daily New York routine, using an ordinary, worn street corner to focus on his awkward interactions and growing irritation rather than spectacle.

In Reality

The scene was filmed at 450 West 37th Street near 10th Avenue, a block of mixed residential and light industrial use in Manhattan, near Hudson Yards. The simple building facade and typical street activity create an authentic New York background, USA.

10th Avenue and West 39th Street

In the Movie

Scene where he is filmed navigating the intersection during a transitional street phase, using the ordinary rhythm of the crosswalk and avenue to amplify his restless movement through the city as his attempts to connect continue to fail.

In Reality

The scene was filmed at the intersection of 10th Avenue and West 39th Street in Midtown West, an active grid node with constant traffic and typical Manhattan streetscape elements. The angle geometry and surrounding buildings read as a practical, recognizable location in Manhattan, USA.

IFC Center Cinema

In the Movie

Scene where he is shown near the theater exterior at a moment that ties his personal fixation and memory loops to a real cultural venue, using the busy sidewalk and cinema facade to emphasize how public life continues moving.
