THE YEAR PROJECT

Year Project Lake Wisconsin

The "Year Project" is a 12 film cycle I am doing based on the months of the year and all set in the same small town in Wisconsin. They will each focus on a different set of characters, sometimes overlapping with previous films, but all in their own stand alone story inspired by that month.  As the series continues, there will be common themes that emerge and a general exploration of community, Wisconsin, and, dare I say it, America itself, as well as the relentless march of time and how not only our environment but the time we are in shapes who we are.

The series is inspired by the state albums of Sufjan Stevens (Illinois, Michigan) and the filmmaking style of Mike Leigh (Secrets and Lies, Vera Drake, Naked, Life is Sweet...).

This is a big project and I don't expect to do it quickly, but in and around other films I make - perhaps it will take as long as 10-15 years!  For more info, see the links below for the films themselves - the black squares are the films that are still to come!
