Synopsis: Jamie is lost. She’s come to New York to visit her friend Samantha, but Samantha is nowhere to be found, and now Jamie is alone in the city. Charlie just quit his job, and isn’t sure where he’s going next. Their paths cross late at night on an empty subway platform, and from this chance encounter an unlikely connection is formed. Together they share twenty-four hours drifting from late night diners, to city parks, to abandoned apartments, to a party and art gallery deep in the heart of industrial Brooklyn.
Written in a week in a half by director Aaron Katz, Quiet City is an introspective look at a chance and fleeting relationship in the midst of New York City’s hurried and often impersonal urban environment. As its title suggests, the film looks at the potential for intimacy in New York’s overlooked corners, in parks, restaurants, and private art spaces far from the overcrowded streets of Manhattan.
Quiet City has been the official selection at several film festivals including the South by Southwest Film Festival, the Sarasota Film Festival, the Independent Film Festival of Boston, and the Maryland Film Festival. Screenings have included dates at Seattle’s Northwest Film Forum and New York’s IFC Film Center.
