    | 29 PALMS, CA Project 29 PALMS, CA by Stefanie Schneider (work in progress) is a feature film/art piece that explores and chronicles the dreams and fantasies of a group of individuals who live in a trailer community in the California desert. The world depicted in the film is inspired by the photographs of Schneider in that it combines the notions of reality and fantasy and explores the resonance of both within a desert landscape and a transient culture. The characters depicted in the film (an actress, a singer, a DJ, a motel owner and his wife, a US army soldier, a mystic, a princess, a recluse, a movie ticket seller, two hitchhikers, a doctor, a director, etc.) are to be played by both actors and non-actors. The story is constructed through the interpretation of real-life communications (i.e., phone calls, emails, conversations) that have taken place as the individuals depicted in the story try to make sense of events that have occurred in real life. In this sense the story is, in part, a biography and social commentary, and the characters are the exaggerated alter egos of the individuals who play them. Stefanie Schneider lives and works in Los Angeles and Berlin.
