From all outside appearances, Mark seems to have the glamorous New York City life that many would envy. Handsome and always impeccably dressed, the charismatic former male model works as a fashion photographer, appears in movies and attends the best parties. When he leaves those events, however, he heads to the East Village— not to an overpriced loft, but to a hidden corner of a rooftop to sleep each night. Director Thomas Wirthensohn exposes the dark underbelly of the American Dream in an often-merciless city.
AWARDS
DOC NYC, 2014: Grand Jury Prize (Metropolitan Competition); Film Festival Kitzbuhel, Austria: Best Documentary.
