The Last Payphone In New York

Co-Director

 

​At the last payphone in New York, deep in a subway station, a young woman is forced by her captor to call her father for a half-million-dollar ransom. But when she makes the call, her unexpected reaction turns the high-stakes hostage situation into a darkly absurd comedy.​​​​
