American Cantos: Visual Poetry Inspired by the Mystique of Remote Landscapes

American Cantos is a wonderfully tranquil 3-minute short film by cinematographer Joe Taylor, which provides scenes of visual poetry that are inspired by the mystique of remote locations and landscapes, often found in the American West.  Taylor further describes the inspirations that influence his filmmaking: “My passion for cinematography is fulfilled only when I find that special place that overwhelms with its beauty, tranquility, and even some latent danger.  I often find beauty in the most uninspiring locale and my gift is creating a scene that encourages the spectator to find it too.  These rare moments are born of waiting at remote and inhospitable locations for hours for just the right light and magic to emerge, only to return time and time again before being satisfied.  These scenes are fleeting and are my labors of love.”
