To Celebrate the wild Burning Man 2023 insanity, we are dropping our feature documentary film Taking My Parents to Burning Man, a love letter to Black Rock City for free on YouTube.
Synopsis Burning Man – the debaucherous gathering in the desert – isn’t your average family vacation destination. Bry, a reckless party animal, decides to rip his nearly retired parents from their routine and throw them into the adventure of a lifetime: A parental coming-of-age story. Shot at Burning Man 2012, this documentary helps defy the stereotypes of Burning Man, by following the unlikely adventure of two 60-year-old parents for their first burn.
