SOUL OF A SCRAPYARD

| DIRECTOR | EDITOR |

Soul of a Scrapyard is a New York Times Op-Doc that follows Sam Sambucci — a junkyard owner in Willets Point, a unique part New York City that is on the verge of redevelopment.

As Sam reminiscences about his neighborhood, the film paints a poetic, cinematic portrait of this diverse community, and celebrates an immigrant, working-class culture that is truly American.
