This brief video is a collaboration between Seena Hassouna and myself. We used a Lumix GH1 right out of the box with the kit lens. The footage is from a waterway located in Highland Park, CA. We began our dialogue by understanding that urban sprawl eventually ripples back on itself and creates new pockets of urban edges along the built and natural environments. We used a dolly to take 8 ft. video samples to discover the latent didactics of these hybrid spaces.

This is a short documentary that originally began as a thank you to the volunteers at the Windrush Therapeutic Horse Farm in Boxfod, MA. But as I worked on the project, I wrote the video to focus on the topic of “volunteering” in general, especially the importance of showing appreciation for those who volunteer their time.
