Burning Rubber (2009)
Burning Rubber is a provocative re-framing of burnouts and rural car culture - a filmmaker's search for meaning in a disregarded and often maligned form of self-expression. Based primarily in rural Nova Scotia, Burning Rubber weaves a predominantly male car culture together with artists and the curiosity of outsiders, stimulating larger questions about identity, creativity, gender, freedom, and how we decide what is valued and given meaning as art.
