4th of July

4th of July

John Carl

|| Client: Levi Strauss
|| Project: Go Forth

We went on a road trip for 30 days to 30 cities filming one story each day of people around America.

This day we were in downtown Asheville, NC for the 4th of July celebration. We didn't know a soul but by the end of the night we found ourselves in a parking lot with new-found friends setting off fireworks illegally. And we got there in a convertible driven by a friend who looked like he fronted a 50's rockabilly band. All in all, an amazing night and one of the more meaningful videos we made.
