Part time capsule, part folk song, PHANTOM COWBOYS follows three teenage boys as they approach adulthood in vastly different parts of the United States. Moving fluidly between the deserts of California, the valleys of West Virginia, and the sugarcane fields of Florida, the film explores the lives of these young men during two formative periods - transitioning forward and backward in time over a span of eight years. Nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the **Tribeca Film Festival**. Winner of the Best Documentary Feature award at the **New Hampshire Film Festival**. "*Phantom Cowboys, is a kind of one-off American cousin to the Up films, though the aesthetic is - befitting its evocative title - more liltingly poetic, if no less thought-provoking*." - Keith Uhlich, **The Hollywood Reporter**
