There is a time and place for everything, but in the world of quirky films, time seems ambiguous.
Here at Little Sombrero we are #blessed to live in suburban America (sarcastic YEAH!). Indie films, the feel good quirky ones, tend to take place in suburban enclaves, so removed from city life, that even time hasn't reached them. Unfortunately in our case, the identical housing and constant back drop of strip malls makes our little slice of paradise look like a dystopian resort.
Without a diverse range of architecture at our disposal, we thought we could dodge the bullet by using older models of cars to create a vague time period, but none of us own a "Little Miss Sunshine" VW van, and we don't plan on buying one either. That's when we bring in the shopping cart...
The shopping cart component of the "Shopping Cart Diaries" helps take our story out of time and place. It isolates our story from the current time, creating a classic timelessness that will last for generations. We aren't just creating two minutes of an exam; we're creating two minutes of a legacy.
