Luis Gispert and Jeff Reed are collaborating on a film that will premiere at the Whitney Museum in September. They will show this film along with films stills together at Zach Feuer Gallery (LFL) in October 2005. Centered around a girl in search of her father after he missed her birthday party, the films sets the girl on a path toward the Whitney, where Gispert & Reed had permission to shoot their work. The girl encounters a number of tribes and strangers along the way.
