Short Doc Day

Sometimes simplicity of format can reveal the essence of being human. The following three short-form documentaries (all parts of individual series of their own) seem to be derived from or influenced by one another. They all stick to a simple structure of selecting people and displaying them in front of a lens while applying basic conditions. The effect is human honesty in some of it's purest and most touching forms.

(NOTE: Brent Meier of The Meier Family found this film and told me about it. Brent is rare in the fact that he is both a rational man and a wildly creative individual. He is also one of my best friends and I miss him.)
