Midwest Premiere!

What would happen if you were traveling in a somewhat hurried, somewhat oblivious disposition, over a straight line, strictly Point A to Point B, and as you were making your way, you came face to face with another person, a dealer, who stands between you and your destination? A dealer that you cannot avoid or side step but must confront? A dealer who drives the hardest of bargains? You not even knowing what you could possibly want or what is being offered, also not wanting to offend but not wanting to answer questions too personal to share with strangers. What happens in an empty society where no one knows what is really being bought and sold? In the Solitude of Cotton Fields distills to its psychological, poetical, and spiritual essence the nature of the most rapidly multiplying and perhaps most intimate relationship in present times: that of dealer and client.
