I've never been a Fisherman

About This Movie

I've Never Been a Fisherman captures this raw edge of New York City through Jay Giampietro's lens. The tone is intimate, almost voyeuristic, as Stankus explores not just Giampietro's street photography, but the weighty ethical questions lurking behind that camera. It's a short documentary, but it packs a punch—each frame feels like a secret shared between the viewer and the streets. The pacing is reflective, giving you space to consider the implications of photographing strangers. It’s distinct in how it merges the art of photography with philosophical musings, creating an atmospheric experience that lingers long after the credits roll.

This film has seen limited release, mostly floating around indie circuits. It's not exactly easy to find a physical copy, making it somewhat of a hidden gem for collectors interested in short documentaries. The scarcity of screenings and its unique subject matter have sparked a bit of interest among niche collectors, especially those captivated by urban art and photography.
