Tamp ‘Em Up Solid
This is a project in collaboration with fellow designers Harvey Young (Soundtrack) and Sam Pennink (Co-Producer). Sam Pennink and I made a 15 state voyage spanning over 3 months across the USA trying to uncover the reality of ‘the American Dream’. The project examines many sub-societies (nomad culture, sports, leisure, labour etc.) and their contribution to the global machine that is the United States. Filmed on Sony DV and MiniDV Cameras, the film aims to understand the components which make up this economic and capitalist force.
Beyond anything, these 3 months were a life changing experience as my understanding of American cultures expanded. The final film will be released in November.
