Long Haulers

A co-presentation from the Guild Cinema & No Name Cinema!

ONE TIME ONLY! Director Amy Reid in person with a Q&A after the show!

Long Haulers is an experimental documentary shot on 16mm film and digital video while riding with around the Southwest with three long-haul female truckers. Filmmaker Amy Reid created the feature-length film while acting as a crew of one; independently filming, recording sound, editing, and raising funds to complete the project. “All truckers are either running away or running to something.” Through experimentation, performative play, and direct observational filmmaking, we meet female truckers who have fled domestic violence, the stigmas of being formerly incarcerated, and mental health issues. Weaving together the stories of these three truck drivers, Long Haulers shares how each woman started trucking and what keeps them trucking.
