DOCUMENTARY SHORT
DESERTOPIA
As pure and as honest a look at the Salton Sea and the people who call it home as you ever are going to see – Howser Huell
It’s in the middle of nowhere, a dramatic landscape not unlike a vision of post-apocalypse. Once known as “The American Riviera”, it’s the biggest thing on the map in California. Here, in the ghost of one of California’s premier resort destinations, a motley group of eccentrics, hell-raisers, and visionaries have found home, and a little piece of heaven.
