Peter Hujar ’s Day is a 37 -page book that was published in 1974 .

Director Ira Sachs has adapted the book into a new film.

The film stars Ben Whishaw as Hujar , played by Sachs in the book.

Sachs says he's working on another film set in the East Village in the late 80s .

The film is a recording of a conversation, there's no mediation, so in a way it's like an access point that is unfiltered.

The script is the text from the transcript, reimagined over the course of a day .

The film begins and is interrupted in certain times with conscious theatrical gestures in order to accelerate and embrace that freedom.

There’s a real energy to these last two films of yours, between Passages and this one, amid a difficult climate for independent filmmaking.

The ghosts of other artists were in the building while we made the film.

I feel like I'm in a forward-moving phase. I really do continue to get inspiration from people who were savvy about the business or the industry but not craven to it.
