Everybody's Nuts





In the San Joaquin Valley, Kern County is nestled between Los Angeles and San Francisco. It is home to two industries: agriculture and oil. My parents live in a house owned by my father’s employer. Close to their home lie thousands of oil wells. And the drinking water is contaminated. Everybody’s Nuts is an essay and a portrait film that explores the choice of two individuals whose economic circumstances helped determine where they would live.

This film was shot over three days on a $140 consumer still camera.
