Dear Moondoggies and Moonbabies,

​

        Happy Lunar New Year.  According to the Lunar Calendar it is the first new moon of the year, which means new beginnings and new cycles. 

​

        To celebrate we sat down with our pal Emily Kaye Allen to discuss her first feature film titled, Cisco Kid. 

It's a documentary about a person who is building a guest house out west in Cisco Utah––what was once known as a desert ghost town. It's shot in Emily's rigorous yet simple aesthetic. Formally cinéma vérité, it is told with wide static shots and intimate conversations between the director and star––Eileen.

​

        Following that is a collection of photos by budding photographer––Ella Kaplan––from her many recent travels on road, titled, Americana amongst varying landscapes and terrains. 

​

        Whether you're driving, hiking, or polar plunging, we hope you enjoy these road stories. Thank you for reading. And as Bonne says to Nyad––in the film Nyad––onward!
