The Accidental Sea

A short film about my favorite post-apocalyptic hell-hole, the Salton Sea.

Music composed by Michael Picton. Download the song on CD Baby:

A few people have asked in the comments if I'm a writer. Yes I am! My first novel comes out in a few weeks, and can be pre-ordered here:

My equipment:
Canon 5DmkII
24mm lens & 100mm lens
Steadicam Merlin
Final Cut Studio & Color
An awesome composer named Michael Picton, who would probably object to being listed as "equipment" but also will probably not read this.

Also, to those considering a visit to the salton sea, be warned that it can get up to 110-120 degrees, you'll be far from a garage should you break down, and it can smell pretty awful. Late fall and early spring are much better times to go!

How is it "gratingly pretentious"? He's a well educated man, an author at that. So yes, he speaks in intelligent terms. The video expresses his viewpoint, and it is quite interesting. He told a story and related it to current trends. None of that is pretentious to me.
