hands on a hard body (1997)

this documentary follows a handful of people in the parking lot of a dealership as they compete to win a truck by leaving their hands on it (for several days). the editing— specifically the crossfade of the moon framed within a spinning tire makes me giggle. the low definition camera is peak. their southern accent pronunciation of the word TRUCK is my new vocal stim. for anyone nostalgic for a more lo-tech time or anyone looking for source material about america, consumerism, and class. it’s uploaded in full on the internet archive too 🛻
