The film stars Michael Cera, Tavi Gevinson, and Abbi Jacobson.

During a day in New York City, a reporter trains a new employee while covering a story about a possible murder where a watch repairman may have important information; a record collector finds a rare piece of vinyl; two brothers track down their sister's ex-boyfriend who posted nude pictures of her online, and a questioning teenage girl explores her feelings when she kisses a boy.

[3] Defa adapted the short into a feature, which was originally titled Human People, and was announced on December 3, 2015, with principal photography to take place in New York City.

And while some of their storylines intersect throughout the course of a day in New York, they rarely connect in ways that have actual meaning.
