For fun, etc.
In the Land of No Kings
What to do when the goosesteps begin to echo? - NYC - The quarter century of Progress. Of Analysis. Of Inertia. Over the edge and into the street. Any second now, with order, in unison, blasphemy on some far off channel. It will return, our usual political prayer, insignificant. Or is that our vanity, too big to fail, so we graciously implode. The black hole swallows. And the tongues flicker spittle. And the man in the lifted truck tells me to go fuck myself. And I him. And we settle in for the long summer.

Can we ever truly see the truth? - Central Europe - A motion-centric exploration of what it means to travel. As it swings from side to side, we explore whether the truths we garner from seeing are merely the misgivings of the rose tinted glasses, or if the freshness of perspective can show us a deeper lying understanding penetrating through the throngs of American tourist denim.
Hit the Road Jacque
How do we lose our ability to see? - Manhattan - Filmed in one fall day in Manhattan. Interspersed with wandering thoughts of daily struggles and triumphs, 42,092 explores the inevitability of losing the beauty of your surroundings and the intense struggle to see in newfound ignorance and wonder. How do we see our beautiful city like a bewildered tourist?
In the Shadow, In the Valley
What role does nature have in healing society? - Grand Canyon - In the Shadow, In the Valley takes us down the Colorado River on a weeklong camping trip. On a raft full of businessmen and entrepreneurs away from the technology that dominates their daily lives, we see people reintroduced to the wonders that surround them, the ever present cliffs acting as natural skyscrapers peering down on them. Childlike wonder shines through in the rare moments between unabashed sunlight and white water pummeling the raft on all sides.
When the Bronx Burns Blue
What about sports brings an oft disjointed society together? - The Bronx - Smoke, flame, the drumming heartbeat of a city. Steeped in echoes the mass marches together, bewildering onlookers. New fans with old loyalties, it is New York vs New Jersey. Blue vs Red. Pigeon vs Bull. City vs Suburb. Songs and chants unifying across language, culture, class. It is the belief that the collective we, the ones shrouded in unfettering City logos, will carry the day. Bankers and Bodega clerks, screaming and laughing all the way.
Springtime in the Rockies
When love is tied so deeply to place, what does it mean when we leave? - Colorado - As the days slip by effortlessly, reality sets in. With the impending loss of the family farm and the inevitable stumbling towards the final end setting in, the slow devastating roll of change crawls its way to a pristine nostalgia soaked mountaintop.
