Road Queen, 2019

The long-haul truck driver is a lonely person spending weeks on end away from home and loved ones as minutes pass into hours and hours into days and miles melt into the horizon. In Road Queen I am interested in exploring the isolation and immediacy of trucking and the kind of person that thrives in that role. I imagine a metaphysical tension between the tedious and the meditative, the immediacy of the present moment and the goal of the future destination. These men and women must be tough to do what they do.
