Spark: A Burning Man Story, co-director/ producer Jessie Deeter

spark_a_burning_man_storyEach year, 60,000 people from around the globe gather in a dusty windswept Nevada desert to build a temporary city, collaborating on large-scale art and partying for a week before burning a giant effigy in a ritual frenzy. Rooted in principles of self-expression, self-reliance and community effort, Burning Man has grown famous for stirring ordinary people to shed their nine-to-five existence and act on their dreams. Spark takes us behind the curtain with Burning Man organizers and participants, revealing a year of unprecedented challenges and growth. When ideals of a new world based on freedom and inclusion collide with realities of the “default world,” we wonder which dreams can survive. Co-Director / Producer Jessie Deeter stops by to discuss the challenges of making a film about the chaos and community that make up one of the world’s greatest annual spectacles.
