Vulgar Fractions

*Vulgar Fractions* ostensibly begins as a physical exploration of seven unique state intersections along Nebraska’s highway system. The film follows a group of travelers as they traverse these points, each intersection serving as a narrative trigger that shifts the story in unexpected directions. As the journey progresses, the film transitions into a more abstract and psychological examination of identity, memory, and human connection. The stark landscapes of Nebraska provide a backdrop for the characters' internal transformations, with the physical journey mirroring their emotional and existential quests. The film’s structure is intentionally non-linear, with each segment reflecting a different tone and genre, ranging from road movie to surreal drama. The title, *Vulgar Fractions*, is a metaphor for the characters' attempts to reconcile their pasts with their present realities, often through fragmented and incomplete understandings. The film was shot on location in Nebraska and features a mix of professional actors and local residents. It premiered at the Lincoln Film Festival and received critical attention for its unconventional storytelling and atmospheric visuals.
