Filmmaker's note

This is my own diary constructed from footage that didn't make it into the third short film I have written and directed titled "Sometimes I Hear the Light Leak in Through the Corners of My Room." I live and work 20 minutes down the boardwalk from Coney Island and it provides endless inspiration for me. I'm glad I could make this little ode to a part of NYC I love.
