"Old Mother Road" has been a labor of love for over two years.  In 2016, I traveled the infamous Route 66 highway, starting from Chicago and working my to the Santa Monica Pier.  As I documented my journey through "America's Main Street", I knew that I was witnessing something special that we all take for granted. The beauty of America's landscape along with the economic decline of many small towns along the roadway needed to be captured not through my eyes but from someone who has been living in their own "bubble". 

It was only ten months after my journey when I decided to return back to "Old Mother Road" with singer/songwriter Jeanette Ferri.  My hope was to get every defining moment from Jeanette's travels and let the camera unfold the same amazement I uncovered. What I didn't expect was the raw emotion unleashed from Jeanette each mile she traveled across the country. From the community feel of small businesses to forgotten cemeteries, Jeanette's experience adds a unique perspective to the story of this historic highway.

Piecing together the story while portraying the scenic beauty of the highway will prove to be challenging. One of the unique things about this documentary is that it will be edited with an uninterrupted time lapse of the Route 66 highway; something that has never been done before. But when it is done, you're going to want to "take that California trip"!
