Follow a scene into the hills. A song onto the Strip. A story all the way to the ocean.
Speed ↗︎
Atlas: turn the pages of a 1993 street atlas as the bus’s route runs off each one and carries on miles away, from a Venice corner to an unopened freeway to a desert airport off the last page; run the two takes of the jump and close a gap that was never there, then run the unfinished Red Line on to where the film’s train came up six years early.
