Gallatin Arts Festival 2024 Selection
Exercise 2 for Sight and Sound: Doc with Mona Nicoara Fall 2023
Approximations is an experimental documentary that captures a cross-country train trip Sawyer took with a friend in January 2023. What made the train exciting was all the interesting people they met, but Sawyer had almost no footage of them. Given this restriction, they altered their limited archive of desolate landscapes through editing, voiceover, and sound design to piece together their trip and explore how documentary reshapes the truth.
