Asthma
Year: 2014
Genre: Drama
Country: USA
Film was filmed primarily in Manhattan, using recognizable Upper West Side and SoHo streets to ground an intimate story about two drifting young adults who impulsively connect and then flee routine life. The locations emphasize quick, handheld-feeling city movement—apartment exteriors, sidewalks, and curbside pull-ups—before the characters’ escape toward quieter spaces.

Locations
225 Central Park West
In movie
Scene where exterior street-level beats around the building, used for quick city moments with Gus and Ruby—pickups, curbside interactions, and transitional shots that situate them against Central Park West before they move on.
Real
Scene was shot a pre-war residential building frontage on Central Park West along the west edge of Central Park, surrounded by classic Upper West Side architecture and heavy pedestrian traffic near 82nd–83rd Streets in Manhattan.
Apartment (exterior), 29 Howard Street
In movie
Scene where exterior used to establish an apartment setting tied to the characters’ New York life, supporting scenes that feel lived-in and immediate—arrivals, exits, and short exchanges that frame their relationship in a real downtown neighborhood.
Real
Scene was shot a SoHo cast-iron/loft-style building on Howard Street near the Crosby Street and Broadway corridor, an area known for boutique storefronts, loading doors, and dense block-by-block streetscapes used frequently for New York filming.
Crosby Street (between Howard St and Grand St)
In movie
Scene where street passage used for downtown movement and connective action—walking-and-talking, street crossings, and vehicle beats—reinforcing the characters’ restless pace and giving a specific SoHo texture to their time in Manhattan.
Real
Scene was shot a narrow SoHo street segment between Howard Street and Grand Street, characterized by older industrial buildings, frequent curb activity, and the distinctive downtown grid that creates a visually tight corridor for walking and driving shots.
