This experimental travel film was my contribution to the April 1st, 2016 presentation of Jump-Start Performance Co.’s 8 x 8: Cabaret du Jump. It came out of a road trip I took with Laurie. We both were invited by our friends at Jump-Start to present pieces for their 8 x 8 anthology show, so our road trip was intended to provide the raw information to create a film (mine); a monologue (hers); and a two-person multimedia performance piece (ours).

My film, Up the 98th Meridian West: 8 Destinations, screened on April 1st, 2016. All of the images were shot on our Hill Country road trip. Also, the sound design includes many of the field recordings we made at various stops.
