The Chelsea Hotel used to be the hippest place to live for New York artists. Now, even though the iron facade has become rusty, a new generation of dreams inhabit the hotel. Memories, aspirations, passion and scandal influence the creative visionaries to create their own masterpieces.

Actor Ethan Hawke takes to the director’s chair for this compelling ensemble piece from the millennial boom in MiniDV productions. Filmed in New York’s iconic Chelsea Hotel with an all-star cast—that includes Richard Linklater!—Chelsea Walls mounts an Altmanesque mosaic of intersecting lives.
