- DirectorJason KucharThe story begins in a saloon, where our unnamed protagonist (The "Sheriff") sits and contemplates his mission over a drink. A bartender is cleaning a glass on the other side of the bar. The Sheriff gets his attention and asks for a drink; the bartender acknowledges him and passes a drink over the counter. The Sheriff pulls out a couple of posters with his two targets, and contemplates his mission. He takes a sip, poking himself in the nose as he takes the first sip. Giving a nod to the bartender and tripping/stumbling on the way out (on a coal scuttle), he ventures outside as the next music score begins. After wandering in the trees and wheat fields of Alberta, he encounters the two antagonists that were seen on the earlier posters. An intense stare-down occurs between the three (you could call it a Mexican standoff, if that term isn't politically incorrect yet). As the three stare at each other, a band plays in a wheat field as part of the music video segment of the film. A drummer, guitar player and bass player play along to the music as images of the Sheriff and two antagonists are shown in the background. After an intense buildup of music and tension, the "showdown" ends and the "conflict" begins. Bystanders appear and watch and the main conflict of the film occurs. Look, I don't want to give away anything else in the video at this point. It's a ludicrous comedy, and I'll ruin it for the viewer if I explain anymore. Just go watch the thing; find it on YouTube. Enjoy the "twist" and just enjoy the music, cinematography and story line.

- DirectorMia TateTwo hours west of Havana in the rust colored countryside sits Vinales, a destination famous for growing some of the best tobacco in the world, where everything is done by hand, fields are still plowed with oxen and the modern world slips away. Campesino celebrates the lives of the Cuban tobacco farmer as introduced to us by an American whose passion has been to photograph them for 15 years. Carl Oelerich is a hard working family man who makes his living as a skycap at the Salt Lake City International Airport. An amateur photographer, with a gift, Carl's B&W images taken throughout the years on film beautifully capture a world on the brink of extinction. Carl begins his journey as an impartial observer, but over the years what begins as a photographic project with his subjects and business relationship with his local guide Juan, turns into something deeper. Despite not sharing a common language, the Campesino's warm to Carl and he to them. It is through Carl's long lasting relationships and striking photographs that we embark on this journey with a cast of characters whose candid conversations overflow with insight, love, humor and gratitude. Here is a peek into rural Cuba that few westerners have seen. Among the many stories we meet a 98 year old horseback riding cowboy philosopher, a teenage girl (that Carl first photographed at the age of 3) that has a head for physics and a sweet and charismatic tobacco farmer that is a killer salsa dancer and devoted practitioner of Santeria. But after all of these years his long time guide and friend Juan begins to question just how deep and lasting their friendship is. Will Carl finally step away from behind the lens and bring their families together? Campesino is a story about friendship, transformation and merging worlds, even those we like to keep all to ourselves.
