SAN FRANCISCO-1959: Two young boys in white t-shirts and shorts walk across a sandy area toward a small roadside eatery. The vintage 8mm film captures their journey past a simple building and a red bench, culminating at a hamburger stand with a prominent sign. The footage, shot on 8mm film, shows the boys approaching the entrance of the establishment, which also advertises ice cream. The warm, slightly faded colors and film grain evoke a nostalgic, mid-century American street scene.
