Salton Sea Beach
The Butterfly Circus
At the height of the Great Depression, the showman of a renowned circus leads his troupe through the devastated American landscape, lifting the spirits of audiences along the way. During their travels they discover, Will, a man without limbs who lives out his life in a sordid carnival sideshow, far below his aspirations of the grandeur of the great circuses. Having only known a life of limitation and discouragement, Will is struck by an intriguing encounter with the showman that leaves him with a drive to hope against everything he has ever believed.
Winner of the Doorpost Film Project, this short film by Joshua Weigel will be expanded into a feature length film.

The Presets – If I Know You
Filled with some incredibly unique and original imagery. Lovely editing. For whatever reason, made me think of Claire Denis’ Beau Travail.

Probably the prettiest portrait of biking in New York City. It makes me miss the Big Apple. The cinematography is fantastic.
