Dixon Hill - Phaedrus

Dixon Hill

Dixon Hill has been making music and living out of his Van for close to a decade now. He has driven all over the country to find rare records, enjoy local eats, and take in the beauty of nature.

Hill's Phaedrus video chronicles a week long road trip from Rhode Island to Las Vegas with his dog Kuma. Time-lapse video, road-weary close-ups, and diner food create a frenetic collage encapsulating a whirlwind road trip across America. Hill shot, scored, and edited this video on the road while doing his favorite things: eating, dancing and record shopping.

The title, is a reference to Plato's concept of the Chariot in his dialogue "Phaedrus"

"First the charioteer of the human soul drives a pair, and secondly one of the horses is noble and of noble breed, but the other quite the opposite in breed and character. Therefore in our case the driving is necessarily difficult and troublesome."

Enjoy!

They’re having a hard time picking much. And maybe you are, too. P...

Like Dominoes – Why Crypto Exchanges are Failing

At the close of 2022, Bitcoin wasn’t just down—it was so down that its precipitous fall was breaking records. One report from Bank of America suggested that the collapse in value was the fifth-worst for any asset in financial history. Despite steady gains this year, it hasn’t even come close to its November 2021 peak, and now things are about to get shaken up like a bead in a baby’s rattle w...

Ari Aster's Families On The Fritz

In Ari Aster’s 2016 short film C’est La Vie, Chester Crummings, a homeless man, speaks directly and combatively to camera about his life and society at large as he wanders the streets of LA, surviving, begging for change and casually murdering people. At one point, he says: “You know what Freud says about the nature of horror? He says it’s when the home becomes unhomelike. Unheimlich.” In Sig...
