Papa Walking - Starring Tom Simpson. Shot and Edited by J.R.Portman.
My grandfather is a cattle farmer in Texas. Like the rest of my siblings, I spent part of every summer as a child on the farm with Papa doing chores, taking rides
in his pick-up, and simply enjoying the land. I don't spend my summers on the farm anymore, but I still go to see him every Thanksgiving along with the rest of
my family. This super 8 film was shot in November 2005. Song is "I Walk the Line" by Johnny Cash, as if you didn't already now.
