lost to society and lost to himself.\u00a0 Barely functioning, he is one of the thousands of homeless on the streets of New York who recede into the concrete jungle, hiding from the world and from themselves.\u00a0 At first glance, it appears that George was once a respected member of society.\u00a0 Although worn, his coat and his shoes belie what is now a state of homeless poverty.\u00a0 Fleeting moments of lucidity in arguing with a stranger for the right to stay in a now abandoned apartment give indications of a higher education, but the synapses appear to be no longer be firing on all cylinders.\u00a0 George is alone.\u00a0 Whatever life he once had is gone.\u00a0 Even his wallet, any trace of identification are gone.\u00a0 He is, for all intents and purposes, invisible to society, to us, and as we eventually learn, invisible to his estranged daughter Maggie.<\/p>\n<p>George is part of the marginalized fringes to which society turns a blind eye and in which life revolves not around planning outfits for work or school, or making dinner reservations or deciding what movie to see, but rather, in moments of survival &#8211; where can he get a bed at night or shelter in inclement weather or a meager meal.\u00a0 But sometimes all it takes is one moment to create a spark of hope or life; one bit of connection with another human being that might help George find his way back.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/time-out-of-mind-1.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-FNOSqkz6\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-12887\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/time-out-of-mind-1-400x208.jpg\" alt=\"time out of mind - 1\" width=\"400\" height=\"208\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/time-out-of-mind-1-400x208.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/time-out-of-mind-1-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/time-out-of-mind-1.jpg 767w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For George, that spark comes from Dixon.\u00a0 An older experienced shelter-dweller, Dixon knows the ins and outs of the system and how to get a bed at night.\u00a0 Once the most famous insane asylum in New York, Bellevue Hospital has been repurposed and is now the largest homeless intake center and men\u2019s housing shelter in Manhattan.\u00a0 Dixon sleeps there almost every night.\u00a0 But there\u2019s a process.\u00a0 You need identification, you have to stand in lines, you have to abide by the rules, but you get a bed and a roof over your head.\u00a0 And once you get \u201cinto the system\u201d, you can get help with food and maybe even find your way back to the world you left behind.\u00a0 Although George is at first trepidatious at this offer of navigational help and this hand of friendship extended by Dixon, he soon takes that hand and the world starts to take on some color, some light, some life, some hope; hope that he might one day no longer be alone, but have his daughter back in his life.\u00a0 And as George slowly finds his way back to society, those around him &#8211; and us in the audience &#8211;

All of us are quite trained to block things out so we can actually maintain our sanity, but for a character like George who is not able to filter things out, who is not able to rush around and life his life but is actually just living moment to moment through his needs of warmth and shelter, a bed and food, all these basic needs, he can\u2019t block those sounds out.\u00a0 So we threw everything in.\u00a0 As you know in NY, sound is one of the most overwhelming elements of existence here and a lack of any kind of quietness.\u00a0 Then just the overwhelming decibels that it gets to is a lot.\u00a0 We really wanted to push the envelope and get as far as we can with that sound to reflect the sound of the city but also reflect his mindset.\u201d\u00a0 The result is flawless.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/time-out-of-mind-9.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-FNOSqkz6\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-12879\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/time-out-of-mind-9-338x300.jpg\" alt=\"time out of mind -
