- When Hap Anderson, a widowed 82 year old Minnesota farmer who thinks he's still quite the ladies' man sells his family farm he finds himself adrift and staring a short future in the face. Motivated by the possibility of showing up with an old flame and impressing his old army buddies, he sets out to attend his 65th WWII reunion in California with his unemployed and unreasonably self-confident and entitled granddaughter. Together, each with their own issues and conflicting agendas, they head west in a dilapidated Winnebago. Encountering oddball tourist attractions and eccentric characters, they find themselves in seemingly impossible situations with only each other for support. From finding a place that will cash a Travelers Cheque to enjoying a cup of instant coffee, as the journey progresses so does their relationship and they begin to understand and appreciate each other as individuals while discovering that their issues are ageless and that family really matters. With typical understated Midwestern humor and restraint, 'Farmer of the Year' delicately blends the comedy and drama of life.
- SNOWBIRD. A humorous and poignant observation of old age, fixed incomes and northern farmers converging to form a temporary winter community amid the confines of a 1200 unit RV park in Mesa, Arizona. Using shuffleboard, walking the dog and water aerobics as backdrops, this portrait of daily life gives viewers an inside look at the Arizona RV park culture combined with an intimate portrayal and commentary of typical snowbird, octogenarian and Minnesota farmer, Howard Swanson. Living in a 400 square foot mobile home five feet from the next 400 square foot mobile home, he navigates the complexities and nuances of growing old while inviting viewers to a world of retirees facing old age, playing poker for dimes, dancing in the afternoon and wearing shorts in December. The kids are grown, the flowers are plastic and haircuts are eight dollars...but time is limited.
