The View From Here

It was my Dad’s dream: to see different places and meet new people, to travel the United States in a van with my Mother; it never happened.

Maybe it’s about fulfilling a lost dream and forming a connection…

Airstream is a symbol of America’s adventurous spirit and desire to be out on the road.  Some people tow their Airstreams around the country; others find a place to park so they can live in their aluminum bungalows; an even greater number of Airstreamers spend countless hours caring for and restoring their capsules as a hobby.  Regardless of how the pods are utilized, all Airstream owners share some common ground: they are passionate about Airstreaming; they know a tremendous amount about their particular trailer, and they are more than happy to talk about them.

Traveling throughout the United States towing a 1953 Flying Cloud Airstream, this film will document the spirits of the people who have found a way to live part of their dream.

Do most people dream of living differently?

If I diverge from a conventional lifestyle, will I find community?

Do we all want to escape?
