Brothers Josh and Benny Safdie have wrapped principal photography on their follow-up to Lenny Cooke.

Heaven Knows What marks the filmmakers’ first non-documentary feature since Daddy Longlegs in 2010 and stars Arielle Holmes.

The youngster plays a fictionalised version of herself in the story of a street kid whom the Safdies met on the subway.

Caleb Landry Jones also stars in the tale of a young homeless couple in love battling addiction on the streets of New York.

The Safdies (pictured) co-wrote the screenplay with Ronald Bronstein. The film is a coproduction between Iconoclast Films and fledgling Elara Pictures, which the Safdies established with Sebastian Bear-McClard and Oscar Boyson.
