Synopsis
A week in the life of Paterson, a poet bus driver, and his wife Laura, a very creative artist, who live in Paterson, New Jersey, hometown of many famous poets and artists.
Cinematic DNA
I admire Jim Jarmusch’s Paterson for a similar quality: a film that focuses on a minimal day, where not much occurs, but still leaves a very strong impression on the audience. My filmmaking goal is similar to this—to focus on the everyday, where seemingly nothing happens, but still capture something interesting and meaningful for the audience. I appreciate that type of approach, and I think it may be what you’re referring to as the 'slice of life' approach.
