Synopsis
A short film built from a single overnight run, shot in real time and cut to roughly the length of the drive.
There is no interview in the film. The driver talks when he wants to and stops when he wants to, and the camera stays where it is bolted.
We made it as a calling card for the work we like most. One subject, one night, nobody standing behind the lens.

- Director and camera
- Single overnight run with the camera locked to the cab.
