What happens

Here I'm Alive is a 2026 neo-realist urban epic directed by Joshua Z Weinstein, who co-wrote it with Brian Jon Perkins. Set in New York City, a collection of dreamers hustle their way through the city's digital underbelly. Starring a group of non-actors, Here I'm Alive shows their vivid lives over the span of one single night. Indiewire's David Ehrlich called the film "A microbudget ‘Magnolia’ for the Age of Hypernormalization". "Anchored by a dialed-in original soundtrack of internet-fried underground NYC music from BBY Goyard, Harto Falión, and Cooper B. Handy and spiritual jazz from Nate Mercereau and Carlos Niño, the film pulses with a rhythm that is unmistakably, defiantly New York."[1] (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
