Rogers Park
Rogers Park is an evocative, slice-of-life tale about what happens when a lonely boy, a dying woman and a searching man meet.
The film follows the lives of three people living in a Chicago neighbourhood: Boy, a latchkey kid, Woman, who is too ill to eat and Man, who is desperately looking for his cat. It explores the intimate and distant spaces between them when they eventually convene under the most precarious of circumstances.
This film is shot on 16mm, ASA800 Kodak stock
