Flying Over the Upper Michigan

Screened at FCFF 2018

Film Synopsis

Flying Over The Upper Peninsula is a collection of drone video I captured while visiting the Upper Peninsula in July. After putting my favorite shots together, I created the ambient music to go over it. This was shot over the period of a week, with me going to my favorite spots around Marquette.
