Park Life

Directed by Tyler Haney

Having both found themselves alone in Chicago one afternoon, a consultant from New York and a writer from Los Angeles strike up a conversation on a park bench. While their acquaintance begins with innocuous small talk, the two are intrigued by each other, and, having no other plans, end up conversing (and conflicting) through the night and into the next morning. Anchored by Matt Dellapina’s and Kathleen McElfresh’s performances and featuring original music by Mike Kinsella, “Park Life” continues the tradition of the conversation film, celebrating the value of connection between people while also exploring the anxieties and concerns of millennials turning forty.
