on Hempen Road . . .

The HempenRoad film project
A travel documentary film series about commercial hemp



It's a movie about a plant . . .

. . . culture, art, economics and environment converging in an independent, multi-media film.

"...and there's at least one moment that is downright poetic"
-- HempWorld magazine.

Filmmakers Eiji Masuda and Dave Olson

"This is as much a travelogue of the Pacific northwest as it is a hemp video. The opening credits, soundtrack and narration give a good idea of what is in store: a collage of images, sounds and ideas."
--Journal of the IHA

New Folks on Board

We've picked up a few hitchhikers along the Hempen Road.
Robert Lunday became our Exec. Producer. His skills in business, numbers & technology will make us a stronger tripod.

Ben Livingston is a graphic artist, writer and activist who will be helping with WWW duties so hold on to your mouse. . .
Robert and Ben can both be reached through Hemp.Net.

Hold on California

We've had plenty gracious invitations to journey down to California which we hope to do soon. Especially since NW is well. . .damp. We've decided to wait a couple months and finish editing the Cascadia footage and head down with more time and bigger budget to do a top-notch shoot. So hang out and we'll keep in touch.
Maybe we'll meet in Vancouver too.

Thanks for reading and feel free to contact me with any questions, concerns, comments.

Enjoy Knowledge,

dave olson
