NOTE: for optimal viewing performance, please consider downloading the video.
a time lapse journey by car from los angeles to san francisco, while twitter postings from the same day serve as a news ticker.
in this sense, time, as experienced in the film, moves forward on two levels: the actual travel that is recorded on film while the twitter postings provide an additional register.
it was shot on may 30, 2008 and edited a few days ago.

Lovely film and nifty idea.
Lmaoo - @ the HAIRCUT/when i DIE Twitter Sarcasism.
it's funny about the hair-cut - how others participate in the "drama" of the hair-cut, which is juxtaposed with another person who tweets about receiving "esther's remains in a box."
the mundane meets something quite extraordinary on a more or less equal footing and both have their own real drama.
thanks for putting this together christian. the juxtaposition is beautiful. i'm glad you made it safely to SF considering all the texting you were reading :)
thanks for the breakdown & the songs.
RIP esther.
