A Place in the Middle (2020)
This film is a portrait of the people, places, history, decay, preservation, and life as I witness it in the rural midwest. Through chance encounters with strangers, I have the opportunity to learn about people I might not otherwise have the chance to meet. Through these individual encounters, a larger yet ambiguous portrait of the human experience and what matters most to those in rural spaces is formed. There is so much beauty and an endlessly rich repository of stories to tell in rural spaces. This film is attentive to the charm of the ordinary.
