Before I know it, my imagination takes over and I’m bringing life to nothing more than a silly phrase I came up with while doing laundry. I started inventing the idea that this was to be a sorta coming of age film. Clearly old school. I was thinking That 70’s Show aesthetic with an almost ridiculous Pineapple Express/Hangover, stoner sense of humor.
Was this a road trip of friends to Minnesota, gone awry? Do they all find out some deep, philosophical moral at the end of their shenanigans? To better illustrate a story that doesn’t exist, I incorporated various plot elements on the inside of the giant Minnesota. A station wagon. Scattered polaroids that would help the friends put the pieces together from last night. A cowgirl themed strip club. A bear with an arrow shot through it. All situations that could pass for what I believe could be a cult classic film. Nothing of true film merit, it ain’t winning any Oscars. But enjoyable only after the 4th play through!
What’s Driving Minnesota is currently on creative hiatus. Subject to change!
