In the documentary To a Man, I focus on middle class young men growing up in suburban Staten Island. Interviews about the American Dream, religion, race, gender roles and money are juxtaposed with the landscapes of industry, shopping areas and nature. These young men reflect the changes in Middle Class America and examine the social constructs generally attributed to the straight white male.

            “To a Man” is an investigation in to a generation raised by TV, filled with commercialism and forgotten by history. It focuses on six young white middle class males and the borough of Staten Island New York. The locations mixed with their stories and reflections paint a picture of a world of big box store and landfills, of super heroes and drug abuse, of tradition and change, of localism and rejection.
