Ahead of its world premiere later this month at the Bushwich Film Festival, we’ve got an exclusive clip from writer-director Chris Shimojima’s “urban indie comic-opera” Alberto and the Concrete Jungle; check it out below, along with the poster and official synopsis…
Alberto Buenaventura is that increasingly common breed — a digital nomad living on the road, unattached. But not much else is common about him. He’s not only a successful photojournalist; he befriends strangers and gets involved in unusual whimsical adventures, often fancying himself a hero. Then just as quickly, he’s off to the next place, following the spontaneous current of life. Leaving NYC, however, proves to be a different type of beast. Al’s attempts to find a way out lead him all over the 5 boroughs, forcing him to deal with various groups of colorful characters that complicate the process and in some cases, make him re-examine his lifestyle… Will he escape the lure of the city?
Alberto and the Concrete Jungle features a cast that includes Alejandro Santoni, Julie Voshell, Rami Margron, Eileen Weisinger, Sonia Couling, and Brittany Mirabilé.
