Guatemala – Travelogue Series

Guatemala

Saturday, December 3, @ 2PM

This event is Pay What You Will

Guatemala is the heart of the Maya world, home to one of the world’s founding civilizations, twenty-four indigenous languages, a wild and dramatic landscape, incredible biodiversity and a fascinating cultural menagerie of customs and traditions.

This beautiful country and her resilient people have struggled to emerge from the shadows of a devastating earthquake and long and violent civil war.  The fallout from these tragedies has compelled many to leave their homes and travel north in search of a different life.

This carefully crafted film provides an insightful, heartfelt foundation for understanding the country, its culture and the people who are worth getting to know, especially in an era when the cause and effect of migration is so hotly contested.

Brent was a CPA.  Now, he is not.

After 15 years in the corporate world, he dropped out and earned a Master’s Degree at the Brooks Institute of Photography.  He graduated, launched a freelance career, joined the school’s Visual Journalism faculty and embraced the fine art of documentary storytelling.

Before the transition to producing and directing, he was a widely published travel and corporate location photographer with experience in more than 70 countries.  This is his first feature-length documentary.

“This is a smart and beautiful film with a sensitive soul – truly one of the best of its kind.” Patricia Schultz, Author 1000 Places to See Before You Die (Workman)
