About a year ago I left California after living there for 7 years and moved back to Texas. It was a tough decision, but it was the right one for me to make right now. I wasn't sure when I'd get to go back until a colleague called me and asked if I would direct a short film they were producing.

If you are a filmmaker I'm sure you've seen an ad for Prism Lens FX by now, they are practically everywhere. recently I saw an ad for their Nostalgia FX filter and thought it looked interesting. I already had their Subtle Dream FX filter and decided to pre-order it along with the limited edition Orange Flare filter.

Back in August 2020, my roommate needed to get his car back to Virginia from Califonia so I offered to help. I packed a few clothes and my camera gear and we hit the road. I wanted to shoot this on anamorphic so I could really show off the beautiful landscape we would come across on our long journey. I shot this entirely handheld to keep my setups light, which worked most of the time but some of the roads on the way were kinda bumpy, but I think it makes the footage feel more authentic!
