"You gotta really walk around to see… there's life out here." Circle Collective has released an official trailer for an indie documentary film titled The Great Basin, an observational film about the various people living and working in this very quiet, dusty region of Nevada. This originally premiered at the 2021 DOK Leipzig Festival last year. Director Chivas DeVinck "works his way up from the soil to the stars to find out what constitutes Nevada outside of Las Vegas. Milieus, places and people are intertwined in a collage. The magnetic core of the whole is the subterranean water from which everything seems to grow and for which everyone strives." Known as the "Loneliest Road in America," sits the Great Basin (see on Google Maps) in rural NV. While it is recognized as desolate land it's also seen as a microcosm of the economic, social, and ecological marginalization of 21st century rural communities. This film captures the tapestry of characters who work, live, and play in the region. It reminds me of the Bloody Nose, Empty Pockets film in many ways. ›››
