THE FILMMAKER:

My name is Benjamin Crew, I'm a 25 year old filmmaker from Mississippi.  I believe that the great American experience is the road trip and look forward to every pothole and a selection of our nation's finest fast food as I take this journey across these United States.
​NOTE: All travel for the project is currently on hold during the Corona Virus Pandemic, the focus will be on making video essays until it becomes safe to travel again.
