California, 2020.
Promised Land probably comes closest to summarizing a lot of what I ambivalently feel about humans and the Californian deserts, and it does it to a gorgeous soundtrack by local Bay Area industrial ambient noise band (and personal friends) Relay For Death. It’s also my longest video, and was shot in a bunch of locations from Amboy, CA, to the northern bits of the Owens Valley.
