The Sunset is Not a Permanent Home
"The Sunset is Not a Permanent Home" was filmed in New York before the Covid-19 pandemic hit the states and now serves as the reminder we need about love, friendship, and home in the world we once knew.
Following several different New York City youths as they navigate their way through life and finding their own voice in the world, this piece offers a sense of community in a time when we need it most.
