A drive around Beckley, West Virginia
This is a nostalgic drive for me. I used to live in the Beckley area. When I returned in 2017, I decided to drive around a few places that used to be familiar: the shopping malls, the skating rink, old restaurants and old neighborhoods. Now, many of these places have changed. If you aren't familiar with Beckley, this video probably won't mean much to you. But if you're from there, I hope that you'll see a few things you remember, and enjoy the ride.

I made this trip in August-September 2017. Video shot with a Brinno TLC-200 Pro time-lapse camera mounted on my roof with a homemade magnetic case. I travel with two Brinno cameras - one facing forward, the other in reverse. Sometimes the reverse camera captures better video (fewer raindrops and bugs hit the rear-view lens).

Coal Rush (FULL DOCUMENTARY)
Filmed over 5 years in the coalfields of West Virginia, COAL RUSH follows the relentless battle for justice of a rural Appalachian community against a major coal company accused of polluting their drinking water.
Husband-and-wife team of independent filmmakers LORENA LUCIANO and FILIPPO PISCOPO shine a spotlight on one of the worst (yet least publicized) industrial contamination disasters in the United States -- billions of gallons of coal waste dumped in the waterways and dwarfing the BP Gulf oil spill.
Granted exclusive access by the legal team, and capturing with eloquent cinema verite'-style the local community's everyday life, the directors expose a serious case of environmental wrongdoing from all angles – including the coal company's standpoint - while bringing an important story of human suffering into focus.
COAL RUSH offers an unprecedented look at some of the most pressing social and environmental issues in America today – concerns over toxins in US tap water, rural poverty, corporate malfeasance, and government failings – through the universally-appealing story of a highly controversial legal saga.
