Andy Dale Petty (US - folk) &

A stream-of-consciousness film essay celebrating the vanishing old weird America of the Great Pacific Northwest and its remaining free-thinking denizens resisting against the status quo and the dominant culture.
While embarking on a gruesome month U.S music tour, Alabama based folk musician Andy Dale Petty and french filmmaker Nicolas Drolc decided to improvise a film. cross-gender between a road movie, a no-budget documentary, experimental cinema, and gonzo journalism. Rooted in the great Pacific's Northwest, along the freeways & blue highways of the States of California, Oregon and Washington, the film is a testimony to the free spirit that made the trademarks of these lands and it's inhabitants, from the 1950's beatniks in California, to the punks of the 1970's in Oregon to the late 1980's grunge cultural explosion that sparkled off the Seattle area. The film, along the offbeat path, works as a visual tribute to a Weird and dying old America.
