an anti-odyssey in 24 parts

Twilight of the Mississippi is a documentary film about what it takes to survive on America’s most mythical river in this time of great transition.

Filmed on a raft as six clowns journeyed from Minneapolis to the Bootheel of Missouri in 2010, Twilight of the Mississippi is a treasure trove of insights gathered from the mischievous Ol’ Muddy and the people that call it home.

Part folklore, part history, part love letter, part war cry, part meditation, part cosmic joke, the film closely examines the interconnected crises of the present age and asks, “where are we going?” As the story unfolds, the clowns draw on the River’s natural diversity to create an explosion of perspective full of twists and turns. This is direct cinema in its fullest expression.

You don’t have to see it to believe it. But see it just to make sure.

The world is undergoing unprecedented changes.

Remember, the magic is in the transitions.
