When you think of a homeless person In NYC, you probably think of a mentally ill guy ranting at you. But that’s not a complete picture of homelessness in NYC. It’s mostly families- female-led families- living in shelters or cars. Another face of NYC homelessness is portrayed in the VOD and DVD film “Landing Up,” which is the anti-“Pretty Woman.” Stacey Maltin, who produced, wrote and stars, joins me along with director Dani Tenenbaum and co-star Ben Rappaport.
Tragically, the movie’s standout, E’Dena Hines (Morgan Freeman’s granddaughter) was stabbed to death by her boyfriend in NYC a month after the movie wrapped. Senseless.
