PERSON TO PERSON, Dustin Guy Defa’s ode to a rapidly evaporating New York City, an analog metropolis where every desk has a landline, wristwatches are fixed by expert hands, and neighbors and friends look out for one another’s well-being. It is also a place filled with unmet expectations, hustlers, and humiliations, where connections can lead to unexpected trouble. Following three intertwined stories—a murder mystery, a high school friendship on the ropes, and a conflict over a vinyl album—PERSON TO PERSON revels in the delights of its terrific characters, their dreams and desires, and all the obstacles that stand in their way.
