Launch at end of week 3, with weekly episode releases
Subway Sessions is a short-form documentary series that profiles the diverse musicians who perform in New York City's subway stations. Each episode focuses on one artist, exploring their personal story, their music, and the unique relationship they have with the commuting public. The series will be shot guerrilla-style, embracing the gritty, authentic atmosphere of the subway system. The creative vision is to blend vérité documentary footage with stylized, cinematic moments that highlight the contrast between the chaotic environment and the musician's artistry. We'll use a mix of handheld cameras, GoPros, and even smartphone footage to capture the energy of the underground. The series will be released on Instagram Reels and TikTok, with each episode under 3 minutes, optimized for vertical viewing. What makes this unique is its hyper-local focus and commitment to authenticity. We'll feature musicians from different genres and cultural backgrounds, reflecting the diversity of NYC. The series will also include interactive elements, like asking followers to suggest questions for the musicians or vote on their favorite performance. This project is a love letter to the city's creative resilience and a platform for underrepresented artists.
