Lookbook
This is a digital version of a physical lookbook we created to convey the overarching feeling of the film. In our opinion, this physcial lookbook is still the best representation of the feeling we envision for the project. The digital version does a fine job of conveying this too, but there is simply no substitute for holding a copy in your hands. To request to have a physical lookbook sent to you, along with a development package, please send us an email by clicking on the “Contact” tab in the navigation menu.

The writing in this lookbook is a combination of original writing by Tito West as well as excerpts from the notebooks of John Cain Carter. In other places, we have pulled quotes from various sources and where this is the case, credit has been given. The same goes for the photographs. All credits are mentioned in the captions below each image.
