SOIL AND SAND
A film by Alex van Boer
I grew up in the small hamlet of Sagaponack, a rural Eastern Long island, New York farming community, where I spent the first twelve years of my life. During the last few decades, Sagaponack has undergone some major changes; widespread development, skyrocketing land values and the end of many local family farms. A combination of video and oral history, my senior high school project is a short documentary on the community during its current bid for incorporation, an attempt by its citizens to protect the home that they love. Through a series of interviews throughout this tumultuous time (2005), the film explores how residents are dealing with these changes and their aspirations for Sagaponacks future.

I was very impressed with this short about a land I know well, my home. It is an important film in that it touches on the very problems we face globally, over-growth and development.
Alex did a fantastic job in bringing to the forefront the "real" Hamptons.
An excellent short film from a talented young man who is a concerned citizen!
