WELCOME!

New York is a vibrant city. You probably have heard, it never sleeps. And as Frank said again and again: "If you can make it here you can make it anywhere."

It's a concrete jungle where dreams are made. More than 8.5 million people from all over the world call the Big Apple home, and another 60 million or so visit it every year.

That happens for a good reason: no matter what you love or which are your interests – art, food, architecture, photography, shopping, sightseeing, theater, music, romance, adventure, exploration – New York is the place where you can find it all and much more.

It's a new surprise on every corner, every day. It's a dream in every heart. Just have your eyes and sensibility open. In New York you can learn a new thing every single day. In New York you can make your dream come true. So, why not give it a try?

A Year In New York

A Year In New York

As a filmmaker living in New York for the first time, I’d grab my Canon 7D and shoot footage of what was going on around me, to try and take in all that was happening. To seek to capture the sense of community, I felt in a place so vast and diverse. The HDSLR was a great tool for this. It allowed getting in among people and crowds and, at the same time, not draw attention to myself.

It seemed like a never ending project, and you could stay filming life in New York for a long time. Eventually, I put my camera away and started to edit. Here’s the end result. It’s a bit rough and tumble – and this is life in the Big Apple I guess.
— Andy Clancy, filmmaker
