Night in the ‘burb

Just north of New York City lies Pleasantville—a town so quiet you could almost miss it if you blinked. By day it’s all coffee shops and nail salons, but at night the streets empty, a few neons hum, and one stubbornly independent movie theater, once guided by Robert Redford, keeps its lights burning. A lone photographer steps into that stillness, hunting for a story in a place where not much happens, yet every shadowed corner feels like a scene waiting for a soundtrack—maybe it’s the secrets the town doesn’t know it’s keeping, or maybe it’s just the wide, cinematic sweep of an XPan frame.
