This Is Market Street

Market Street, San Francisco's grandest street, is a destination the world over because it truly is 'the heart of the city'. In the near future, designers and planners will attempt to redesign Market Street to meet the growing needs of a 21st-century city with the 'Better Market Street' project, a major design and public works project initiated by the City of San Francisco. 'This Is Market Street' catalogs the many voices of Market Street before the redesign ushers in a new reality for San Francisco.

Director Statement

My work is about place and the stories of those places. In my first documentary, "This Is Market Street", I am trying to showcase the voices of everyday citizens and visitors alongside designers and planners in a way that will give the audience an impression of that place, in this case Market Street in San Francisco. Cities change on both monumental and minute scales, and documentary film captures that change and can teach us about our environment in ways that we can't always see on our own.
