Long flat agricultural fields, dramatic shorelines, urban tension and excitement, sleepy redwood trees, and the constant small town reminders of middle America are all accessible through the highway system of California. As a young songwriter, Dustin Aaron has spent most of his life traveling these roads, capturing the feelings that the last outpost of Western Civilization invoke. Spanish missions, engineering feats, the manufactured shine of Hollywood, and the ability to find oneself in the middle of nowhere between it all create both the mythology and reality of California that finds it's way into the songs of the Foreign Cinema. The Foreign Cinema has relocated to Portland, Oregon for the sake of sanity and because Dustin needed new streets to walk around in.
