Stuff Midwest Burners Say and Do

Midwest Burners gather at a campground each year for Interfuse and in 2012 many of them contributed to creation of this video, starting with an initial concept by Tiny and eventually ending up in my editing software.

This video has an educational component, if only because whenever burners gather, a different kind of cultural mindset is in operation, mostly.  It involves ten principles, most of which can be seen at various points in the video, if you think about it a bit.

Radical Inclusion
Leave No Trace
Radical Self-expression
Personal Responsibility and Self Sufficiency
Participation
Communal Effort
Gift Culture
Decommodification
Civic Responsibility 
Immediacy
