Viewing Notes

Neat short film directed by Caleb Deschanel that proceeded EQUINOX FLOWER at the Northwest Chicago Film Society weekly screening. Even in his earlier days it’s clear Caleb had an eye for framing and capturing a scene. Visually a beautiful movie that showcases the romanticism of passenger trains without trying.
