Losing Lusk

Vance Malone · USA · Documentary / Experimental · 6 min · 5.8K views

Directed by Vance Malone · Starring Ty Baker · 2006

A personal, impressionistic portrait of Lusk, Wyoming, reflecting on how big box retail and globalization are hollowing out small rural communities.

A poetic, personal elegy for small-town America that lingers long after its six minutes.

"A boy was born in Lusk, Wyoming, in the least pop- ulated county, in the least populated state in the nation. This is the story of what that boy left behind and took for his journey.”
