A nearly 100% shot film from the front seat of a car, this is actually great, going through all sorts of towns, cities, country side, and other outdoor settings (no mountains though). The film does have an abnormal attraction to small town streets in the first half, which is charming.. Not too sure what they were looking for, but it's interesting! Love the shots of the huge waves in Lake MIchigan. It didn't look like it was HUGELY windy, but up the waves went! All sorts of fun here.
