The Gist: Each director will create a five-minute segment
about a love encounter in a district of the five boroughs for a
100-minute long final cut.

Fact: NYC’s own Scarlett Johansson will be making her directorial debut.

See It: Hopefully we can expect something as good or better than the hallmark card to the city of lights (Paris, je t’aime).

Release Date/Status?: Currently in pre-production, William Morris Independent will sell to the highest bidder. A NYFF premiere would make logical sense.
