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

Plot

Train Station follows a single character, known only as "The Person in Brown", played by 40 different actors who vary in age, gender, ethnicity and sexual orientation. Along the character's journey, he/she is presented with a series of choices - some minor, some life-altering. Each time a choice 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 on five continents. Train Station unites cultures and breaks language barriers, reminding us that we all live in the same world full of diversity, options and consequences.[4][2][5][6]

Reception

Critical reception has been positive. PopCultureBeast called it "the definition of collaborative experimentation in cinema"[7]
