West Texas Cloud Appreciation Society is a documentary-style film essay that examines the towns and regions of West Texas, and the people who inhabit them, exploring by proxy the underlying myths and archetypical forms that attend the “American West” at large. Filmed over the course of 3 years, West Texas Cloud Appreciation Society is above all a meditation on the scale of time and the value of place, approaching the notion of “environment” through a particular interest in the exploration of foreground and background.
