My 6th One Second Film. I will never stop making these.

2020: The wandering ghost. This year I learned it's possible to stretch yourself so thin, that you can feel translucent. These videos do a terrible job at expressing thoughts, emotions, and mental health. I hope everyone who takes the time to watch this and read this understands that filming what's around me did not mean that I felt happy, lucky, or successful 7 days a week. Like so many of us, this year was the worst I've ever had. It was a continuous cycle of loneliness, gut punches, and fear of what was to come. I picked these songs before the year began to use in this film, and as the year progressed, their meanings changed for me.
This year's film features two of my favorite songs by one of my favorite artists; Panopticon. The first song, "The Wandering Ghost", is about a young man from the mountains who left his mountainous home for a city, and destroyed himself in the process. From 2011-2014 I went down that road myself. I hoped to never return. In 2020 I found myself back in that mindset. Travelling endlessly for work away from my family sucked me dry.
"A Ridge Where The Tall Pines Once Stood" is a manifesto to Wilderness. And it features my favorite quote of all time, from the late naturalist Sigurd F Olsen. I take the words in this quote literally. After yet another destructive fire season destroyed multiple communities I used to call home, I can't help but feel the increased urgency in expressing to everyone who watches this video what the consequences are to ignoring the health of our forests and our climates. "We will destroy our culture, and ourselves." My hope is that 2021 will be a year of reflection, remorse, and sweet nothings.
This year is dedicated to my gorgeous wife, Bailey
This year's project was filmed in Idaho, Montana, British Columbia, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Oregon, California, and Washington.
I was lucky to live in places where I could legally and safely recreate in a solitary space. Social distancing was my lifestyle before it became mandatory.
