DENVER COLORADO-1949: A young man in a light-colored shirt and dark pants rides a bucking bull in a dusty rodeo arena. Spectators watch from behind wooden railings as the rider struggles to maintain his balance. A red vintage car is parked in the background near the arena's edge. Shot on 8mm film, this grainy, color-tinted footage captures the raw energy of a mid-century American rodeo, with a nostalgic, home-movie aesthetic.
