Sidewalk Stories

A young artist living in New York, on the fringes of the financial district and its rushing crowds, tries to make a living sketching passers-by on the street. He survives on his meager means and has found refuge in an abandoned building. One night, on the corner of a back alley, he finds a little girl whose father has just been murdered. While struggling to take care of her, he meets a young rich woman who immediately falls in love with this awkward couple.

This silent, black and white comedy is a moving and funny homage to Charlie Chaplin's The Kid.

Nominated for three awards at the Film Independent Spirit Awards including Best Director. Official Selection at the Cannes Film Festival.

"Laughs, romance, and even something of an adventure flower in Lane's New York." - Alan Scherstuhl, Village Voice
