IN EXCESS
In Excess examines labor, capital, and displacement in modern America through the lens of one city’s trash — in sewers and streets, waterways and workplaces. It’s a gritty dive into the inner workings of a city’s infrastructure that embraces different formats, weaving newly digitized archival material together with surveillance footage and contemporary vignettes of people at work, communities in flux, and waste in motion. Observational, off-beat, and open-ended, the film finds harmonies and dissonance in patterns of creation, consumption, and renewal.
Produced by Nora Wilkinson, Editing by Julian Turner, Archival Produced by Caitlin Riggsbee, Sound Design by Jonathan Snipes and location sound by Christopher Fleeger and Jonathan Snipes
