There are 8,000 miles of roads and paths in New York City and for the past six years Matt Green has been walking them all – every street, park, cemetery, beach, and bridge. It’s a five-borough journey that stretches from the barbershops of the Bronx to the forests of Staten Island, from the Statue of Liberty to Times Square, with Matt amassing a surprisingly detailed knowledge of New York’s history and people along the way.
Something of a modern-day Thoreau, Matt gave up his former engineering job, his apartment, and most of his possessions, sustaining his endeavor through couch-surfing, cat-sitting and a $10-per-day budget. He’s not sure exactly why he’s doing it, only knowing that there’s no other way he’d rather spend his days. Executive produced by Oscar nominee Jesse Eisenberg and directed by Jeremy Workman (SECRET MALL APARTMENT), THE WORLD BEFORE YOUR FEET is a tribute to an endlessly fascinating city and the freedom to be found, wherever you live, in simply taking a walk.
Documentary subject Matt Green will be attending the Saturday, Aug. 23 screening for a live Q&A, plus he’ll lead audience members on a relaxed walk through Rochester, following the screening.
If you buy a ticket for either screening, please feel free to join Matt for the walk! The walk will launch from outside the front doors of Little Theatre 1 on Saturday, August 23 at approx. 2:15pm.
