Two more words to add. Wow! Thanks!

It's slick, and you're very talented, but it's only understandable to people (like a lot of us here) you already know a lot of Queens neighborhoods. This would be good as an intro (and some interlude montages) to a feature film.

Many beautiful images.

I'd love to see a sequel that shows Queens mostly in the daytime and with neighborhood houses, apartment buildings and trees and such.

Thanks for sharing!

You, sir, are a very talented man. Throw in some water scenes from Rockaway Beach in you next one!

No Queensboro Bridge no Queens.

This is some nice footage off the IRT and IND and waterfront but it ain't about 75% of Queens.

Totally stunning video Saddiq. Whether you know something about Queens or NYC it does not matter, it is a feast for the eyes and ears. Amazing film making.

Was that garbage shot, Jamaica?

You have a future in film making, no doubt.

Come to Jamaica, would love to work with you on a documentary.

I'd change the soundtrack to "Turkey in the Straw".

would love it if you would do one of the place you come from. where would that be? am sure you are not a born NY'er.

Anon No. 13: The point of that being?

And who says that he's not a born New Yorker? In any case, he's from here now.

nice debut,soundtrack was irritating tho.

sorry to sound like a hotshot producer but...

come down to southeast queens(the dirty south-trademark),broad channel and the rockaways(especially riis park,check out the clock)and breezy point.Make it daytime and the soundtrack rocking and melodic(like bob mould),or if you use dubstep again turn it down a notch .Please avoid the hipster americana folk bullshit.

PLEASE he can't avoid the hipster Americana folk bullshit. He'll buy it hook line and sinker.

and put some techno soundtrack on it.
why doesn't the producer weigh in on where he's from?

Twenty dollars sez that he's from India or Pakistan. put your money on it.
