We Buy Gold

I have worked as a runner in NYC's Chinatown and 47th street jewelry/coin centers since I was 12 years old, and have met some really fascinating characters. I’ve spent years immersed in this subculture, and I wanted to create a personal narrative that blends doc and fiction, highlighting real people in their natural environment. I just hope to capture the absurdity/humor of this world, and show people a hidden side of NYC that’s close to my heart. I love this hybrid approach because it's fun when the audience is actively engaged and questioning what’s real vs what's constructed.
