A uniquely Utica film will be hitting video on-demand services this month after a multi-year labor of love.
“As Long As We Both Shall Live,” formerly titled “Falling,” is a romantic thriller from director Ali Askari and stars Josh Helman (Mad Max: Fury Road), Yael Stone (Orange is the New Black) and Paul Sorvino (Goodfellas).
The movie is filmed and set in the city, with notable landmarks such as the Utica Zoo, Utica Coffee Roasting Company and The Tailor and the Cook.
The film follows the story of Malcolm, played by Helman, as he recovers from crippling depression in the wake of his wife’s death. Aided by his sister-in-law and mentor, Malcolm eventually starts dating again and meets Nya, played by Jennifer Allcott.
