36 Hour Walk
12m

A college student attempts to walk from his dorm room in midtown Manhattan to the end of Long Island in 36 hours. Legyaan Thapa directs “36 Hour Walk,” a personal documentary of a half-hearted journey built with wry, self-deprecating commentary. Vowing not to eat or sleep for a day and a half, the man sets off on his trip. For what reason? He figures he’ll discover that along the way. But soon, he’s hit with setbacks, poor planning, frustration, boredom, and physical pain. The hours wear on, exhaustion sets in, and the challenge reaches its conclusion. It’s an entertaining ode to lofty pursuits and half-assed follow through, built with shaky, lo-fi visuals and an affably lackadaisical attitude.
