14 Miles
There's fourteen miles of paved road from one end of town in Sitka, AK to the other. And there are stories to tell. An ongoing series.
Serious, wry, curious: we’re digging and uncovering what just might get passed by, even on an island town with only 14 miles of road from one end to the other. Our goal is to create and post new short films every 2 weeks. The stories we want to share are local, but universal too. If 14 Miles resonates, these chapters will come together to create a sense of time and place and how we connect – and how we don’t – to the world "off the rock”.
