A few weeks ago, Stephen Vernon-Clark posted some footage on a documentary road-trip film he’s working on, with the working title of “Dodge and Burn.”
Apparently the film has a new title, “30 Days in September.” And Vernon-Clark has posted a new trailer for the film:
As you can see, Vernon-Clark spent time on Route 66 in Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico while filming during a 4,000 mile trip in September 2010.
In an e-mail earlier this month, Vernon-Clarke explained:
Most of the destinations and interviews were the result of instinct and the flip of a coin.
I had seen ‘Roadside America’s’ website and that gave me the locations of Cripple Creek in Colorado where Lodi was fighting to save the museum from closure and it also gave me the idea of Salvation Mountain in Niland, California. After seeing some pictures of Leonard Knight and his creation I just had to go there and record the event.
The rest of the trip just happened and we just found ourselves on the ‘Old Route 66′. Wished I could have spent longer on that section, the stretch of road between Shamrock and Albuquerque gave me the most photographic opportunities and not forgetting Bozo and his fantastic collection of cars.
Vernon-Clarke said once the film is finished, he may shop it around to television.
