Director's Statement
When I set out to make my first solo film, my friend and neighbor Jeffrey graciously allowed me to follow him for a “day in the life” of a building super. What followed was a lifetime’s worth of lessons about hard work, humility, and love for your neighborhood.
This film is my homage to a wonderful friend, neighbor, and real-life superhero.
