Train Station is a multi-director feature film from CollabFeature, the filmmaking team that created The Owner.[2][3]

Plot[edit]

Train Station follows a single character, known only as "The Person in Brown", played by 40 actors who vary in age, gender, ethnicity and sexual orientation. Along the character's journey, they are presented with a series of choices - some minor, some life-altering. Each time a selection is made, the film switches to a new cast in a new city, and the story continues, helmed by a new director. Cities include Berlin, Bogota, Dubai, Jakarta, Los Angeles, Singapore, Tehran and 20 others across five continents. Train Station, uniting cultures and breaking language barriers, is a rreminder that all human beings live in the same world full of diversity, options and consequences.

Reception[edit]

Critical reception has been positive. PopCultureBeast called the film "the definition of collaborative experimentation in cinema".[4]
