Director's Statement
Wide-open spaces and enthusiastic people have always fascinated me. The faces of the Flolopapys in action simply glow. This film gives them the floor. The questions they ask are universal, and the emotions with which they experience them are truly touching. There is so much to learn when you step out of your comfort zone and confront your fears.
