What it’s about. Sidney is a warm and deeply quixotic man who sends his lost love a plane ticket to New York along with a letter asking her to meet him at the top of the Empire State Building. With a vintage Polaroid camera in hand, he takes to the New York streets, stopping occasionally at tourist attractions and coffee shops. Along the way, he unexpectedly meets a distraught woman who left her boyfriend that very morning after discovering that he had been unfaithful. Like Sidney, she too is drifting around Manhattan, as she waits for a flight to take her back to San Francisco.

Who’s in it. New York Waiting stars D.C. Douglas as Exion, John Trapani as Camera store owner and Joe Flood as Cab driver Bob.

How it landed. With an audience score of 5.2/10, New York Waiting has proved divisive with audiences.
