About The City Is Like A Character In The Film
"The City Is Like A Character In The Film" focuses on the burgeoning relationship between two out-of-towners named Ahmed (Ahmed Khawaja) and Julie (Alex Beechko), both down in the dumps before their accidental meeting in Manhattan. The two begin to open up to one another as the day progresses -- they kick off by commending the various allures of NYC and sitcom TV before diving into more serious topics such as grief, Islamophobia, Trump, and America.
Directed by Christopher Jason Bell, The City Is Like A Character In The Film leans on a strong ensemble — Alex Beechko, Ahmed Khawaja — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2018.
