Between that accidental shoulder brush and this eye contact lasting just a second too long, the subway suddenly seems like a place to see and be seen...

Hope You See This is a short audio documentary created as part of the UnionDocs 2019 Collaborative Studio about fleeting moments on the NYC subway leading to Missed Connections posts on Craigslist. It follows two characters who seem to tell two sides of the same story as they relive their brief but charged encounter on the train. A chorus of voices consider common fantasies around chance-romance, desire in public space, and the pursuit of a happy ending.
