About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Driving from the good ole east to the deep down south to the wild wild west

ABOUT ME

After traveling across America together we decided we simply hadn't had enough. Driven to experience the new and to satisfy our artistic and (positive!) social agendas we have come to Jordan to make a documentary. We love it here in Amman, and we're excited to travel through the Middle East and meet new friends!

PHILOSOPHY

living in the moment. meeting as many people as possible and enjoying life. Meaning and worth are completely subjective so it's essentially up to you to make anything worthwhile.
