Hi everyone! Thanks for coming to check out the blog. We will try to keep you up to date with the filming of Wasteland. We know that many of you have asked yourself how so much garbage has accumulated in your weekly trash? Or stood in your closet wondering how in the hell all this stuff got here? I am probably one of the most guilty out there in terms of consuming my fair share of goods, not recycling, and creating a ton of waste. Though I date a woman who is currently planting trees and forming a zero waste community in the north of Ecuador, I still have difficulty just showing up to Starbucks with my own reusable coffee cup.
Thus the film is really an adventure for two filmmakers who in their hearts know there is a problem, but have definitely not become the antidote to it. We are looking at the garbage that accumulates from American consumers, what is done with it, and why we are buying all this stuff in the first place? We know that you as friends and family are very supportive of this film, and for any of you that have input or ideas for us to examine further, we welcome your suggestions.
Also, we are poor (namely because we are documentary filmmakers) and sometimes in need of a warm place to sleep, and an electric outlet to charge the batteries for another day of shooting. If you are able to provide us with any assistance, I can assure you that Aaron is ready and willing to cook you a great meal while I do very little. We begin shooting in the coming weeks. Pictures to follow, and if you find us snooping through your trash can, just remember that it is in the name of art and social justice.
Peace.

Ladies, make sure to NOT throw away any underwear. Wes likes rooting through garbage enough as it is, you don't want to add any incentive for it.
