Down Home

Hillbilly Builders: Down Home

One of the happy accidents of my life was meeting these six gentlemen down in the holla of West Virginia. A conversation became an afternoon became a treatment, a shoot and this 14 minute documentary.

I never knew what , if anything, this small adventure would become. And I didn't care. It made it to festivals and prompted a short-lived bidding war with Discovery and NatGeo channels. But all it ever needed to be, for me, was this.

Shot on Panasonic DVX100.
