MediaStorm has a new project, Driftless: Stories from Iowa, that is tied to a photography book by Danny Wilcox Frazier of the same name. The entire project and its many chapters are in black and white, a choice I assume is meant to match the black and white photography of the book that is inter-cut throughout the pieces. There are some places I wish there was a come to Oz moment where all the rich colors poured in. (but I guess that’s Kansas not Iowa.)
Another strong showing by MediaStorm. Be forewarned, there is some nudity in the videos, so I would recommend against watching it in your office, unless you work in a place that doesn’t mind having a large phallus across your monitor. Apparently Iowans really like to get naked when a photographer is around.
